ANTHRAX Bassist To Star In 'Greetings From Tim Buckley' Biopic
August 24, 2011According to Variety.com, ANTHRAX bassist Frank Bello will play punk music/fashion innovator Richard Hell in the indie biopic "Greetings From Tim Buckley", which began shooting this week in New York. Frank Wood ("Changeling", "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3") will play songwriter and Jeff Buckley collaborator Gary Lucas, while Penn Badgley ("Gossip Girl") has been cast as Tim Buckley's son Jeff. Dan Algrant ("People I Know", "Naked in New York") is directing from a script he co-wrote with Emma Sheanshang and David Brendel.
"Greetings From Tim Buckley" is one of three rival projects centering on Buckley's life. The film will tell the true story of the days leading up to Jeff Buckley's eminent 1991 performance at his father's tribute concert in St. Ann's Church.
According to indieWIRE, Bello previously had tiny roles in a handful of television and movie projects mostly as a member of ANTHRAX, though he did also play "Johhny, Rocker" in an episode of "Law & Order".
