Swedish beauty Malin Akerman has been cast to play Debbie Harry in Randall Miller's indie about legendary punk club CBGB. Alan Rickman will play owner Hilly Kristal, and "Harry Potter" star Rupert Grint will co-star as Cheetah Chrome, the guitarist for the Dead Boys. Not sure how I feel about Akerman playing the Blondie singer -- she'll always be Juna Milken from "The Comeback" to me and I have concerns about her ability to Debbie's accent -- but I suppose it's better than Kirsten Dunst. I wonder if they can at least get Debbie doppelganger Michelle Pfeiffer to do a cameo as the older Debbie at Hilly's funeral? Variety has more details HERE.
