Sting’s actor daughter Mickey Sumner has landed the role of punk icon Patti Smith in a new movie called CBGB, the legendary New York club. She was added to the cast on Monday, alongside Foo Fighters rocker Taylor Hawkins, who will make his acting debut as Iggy Pop in the film about the late club’s boss Hilly Kristal, portrayed by Alan Rickman. Terry Ork and Joey and DeeDee Ramone will be represented as will Blondie star Debbie Harry, by other actors. Filming will begin in Savannah, Georgia and New York City later this month. Kristal dreamed of having a Country, Bluegrass and Blues club in New York City. When he had difficulty finding country and blues bands, he opened his doors to local acts. He had one demand of the acts he booked: They could only play their own original music.
