Reader poll We're not sure quite what to make of this, but according to Variety, Hobbit Elijah Wood is to play Iggy Pop in a forthcoming biopic entitled The Passenger.

Accordingly, we ran a list of 10,000 possible candidates through a complex suitability algorithm and now offer readers the chance to vote for the person who really could pull off Pop, as it were.
