The only challenge Joaquin has is sounding like a seven foot giant. That's what I thought the first time I ever heard Cash.
Right, Bill, and the proof's right here on HTF! June Carter and Johnny died in May and September 2003, respectively, and as we can see, Vickie started this thread in March '03, with Joaquin and Reese already cast.
Yeah, I'm sure my fellow HTF'ers will know, I just think a lot of less-informed people will make the assumption I spoke of earlier.
The only challenge Joaquin has is sounding like a seven foot giant.There are some lines where he clearly nails it, others where he clearly doesn't.
...look for Shooter Jennings who plays his own father (Waylon Jennings) in the film.How about this pedigree...
Waylon Payne, named after his godfather, Waylon Jennings, plays Jerry Lee Lewis in this film. His mother is country singer Sammi Smith (recently deceased) and his father is Jody Payne, longtime guitarist with Willie Nelson.
As a film, it might have been tightened up a bit, by maybe 5-10 minutes, but that might have meant a musical number getting cut, so I can forgive the 135 minute running time.Interestingly, the soundtrack CD includes video of "unseen performance footage not included in the movie". Now, I haven't seen the film, so I couldn't tell you if any of this stuff was in the film at all, but the two songs are Rock 'N' Roll Ruby and Jackson.
