Jared Leto killed John Lennon
Filed under: Drama, Casting, Newsstand
Hmm. So, the day after it's "leaked" that Lindsay Lohan and The movie actually sounds sort of interesting - Leto will play Mark David Chapman, the dude who killed John Lennon, and Lohan will be a woman who befriends him shortly before the shooting. There's no word on a director or an actor to play Lennon (I vote for Ian Hart - he did the young Lennon perfectly in Backbeat and is now 40, the same age Lennon was when he died), but the flick does have a title: Chapter 27. Anyone know what that means?

My guess is that it's a reference to The Catcher in the Rye, although not having read the book in ten years, I can't say for sure.
Also, if Jared Leto is gonna play this guy, he's gonna have to get a lot less pretty real fast:

Catcher in the Rye has 26 Chapters. I guess Chapter 27 is what happens after Chapman finishes the book.

More props to Leto if he can get Lohan to eat some burgers or something to ditch that crackworthy physique she's been sporting this year. My vote for a good burger to start with is Carl's Jr.'s/Hardy's Breakfast Burger. Its awesome. And yes, I just ate one.
*Backbeat* is an overlooked gem. I highly recommend anyone who hasn't seen it NetFlix it. Deacon Frost - aka Stephen Dorff - is awesome in the flick. Then again, I also liked him in *Cecil B Demented*, and it goes without saying in *Blade* as well. One can argue that *Blade II (Bloodhunt)* and *Blade Trinity* were not strong sequels because they lacked a great villain like Frost in the original.
