Iggy Pop in Suck<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

Rock legend Iggy Pop has been cast in Dario Argento’s upcoming film The Sandman<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Bloody Disgusting<\/a> revealed that the icon, who has put in some great work in movies like Jim Jarmusch’s Coffee And Cigarettes<\/em><\/strong> and Dead Man<\/em><\/strong>, as well as popping up in Cry Baby<\/em><\/strong>, Tank Girl<\/em><\/strong> and Persepolis<\/em><\/strong>, is the first to be cast in the new movie from the director of Suspiria<\/em> <\/strong>and Tenebrae<\/em><\/strong>. It’s not the first time Argento’s cast a rock star, either; his underrated second season Masters Of Horror<\/em> <\/strong>episode ‘Pelts’ starred Meat Loaf.<\/p>\n

The Sandman<\/em><\/strong> is currently looking for financing at the Fantasia Film Festival. The only detail known about the film so far is that it’s written by David Tully, who wrote Tobe Hooper’s Djinn<\/em><\/strong>. The last time Argento collaborated with writers who’d worked for Hooper,it was Jace Anderson and Adam Gierasch, and together they produced the risible, if entertaining, Mother Of Tears<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You can buy Suspiria<\/em> on Blu-ray for £18.73 at Amazon.co.uk.<\/a><\/strong>
