Doherty to star in autobiography flick?

- The Libertines »
- Babyshambles »
Former Libertine-slash-current Babyshamble Mr Pete Doherty is hoping to star in a film about his own life. Really.
The sometime singer told Sky that he was determined to reconnect with his audience, dispelling his junkie image. He said that the media paints him as a "tragic figure".
In related news, Babyshambles' single 'Fuck Forever' will now be released on August 15th.
In totally related news:
Babyshambles' postponement of their summer tour has caused a stir in the tabloids, a massive album delay the alleged reason. The Daily Star quotes a source as saying:
"The bosses at Pete's record label are terrified; their album is
still not near completion. They can't afford for Pete to be out of the
studio for any more time. The band have been working on the LP for nearly
six months and it's still not near completion."

Re: Doherty to star in autobiography flick?
It'll be like 8 mile. Eminem is also signed up. Pete and Eminem will have freestyle rap battles with each other.

Good god, the guy should be locked up not given more exposure.
Hope this film flops big time.

How much to off him? Seriously, we could have a whip round.

Pete.
What is it exactly that you've done?

he doesn't need to do this to reconnect.
the more he fucks up the more his audience loves him.

Six months to complete an album with simple bass, drums and guitar set-up? A bit of an insult to countless unsigned bands who can rustle up twelve-track albums in a week, c'est non?
Doherty to star in autobiography flick?
That's awful.
Firstly its very self centred... starring in a film about yourself.
Secondly, who's gonna watch it. Its not like he's had an interesting life is it? He lived with Borrell... went into the Libs... became a junky, and into Babyshambles.
I'd rather watch: 'The James Blunt Story'. Just to hear his funny voice. Tee hee hee!

Re: Doherty to star in autobiography flick?
Hell, I'd pay to see that.
Re: Doherty to star in autobiography flick?
haha, yeah, "we haven't managed to get them to record anything of releasable quality yet"
Doherty to star in autobiography flick?
That film will never be made.........if he can't get it together to record an album in under six months, he'll never be able to make a movie, and no-one would ever pay for him to indulge his non existent work ethic.
It's clearly utter bullshit that he's not an addict anymore.
I bet you won't be able to hear the work that's gone into that album...it will still sound like out of tune, poorly played, mumbled shite. I could make an album on my own in two days that would sound more coherent than anything Babyshambles could ever do. What a waste of flesh

Dear god, no. This will be a tragic failure.
Re: Doherty to star in autobiography flick?
why does he need to bother when he already stars in 'stalking pete doherty' one of the greatest films ive ever seen
Re: Doherty to star in autobiography flick?
first of all, please learn the basics of the english language.
second of all, this condensed report is a lot less tabloid-ish than the daily updates you can find regularly on that other music website, and in victoria newton's 'bizarre' column.
i don't see how him wanting a film about himself is exaggerated, nor postponing the gigs (which, uh, newsflash, did happen) .
i would think sky and the daily star would know better than to publish a libellous comment.
the pete doherty story will end exactly like the kurt cobain story, but with a crucial difference. i'm sure as hell not going to be telling my kids about those libertines idiots.

Re: Doherty to star in autobiography flick?
so then why did he postpone his tour? it's certainly not the first time this has happened.
and how do you know the album is near completion?
it has to be said, that the majority of tabloid journalism is sensationalist arsewank, but it's pretty easy to buy into when you've got a community full of libs-haters.
i just think that without his periodic drug abuse/kate moss he wouldn't have nearly as much hero worship or column inches

Re: Doherty to star in autobiography flick?
If people read them, discuss them and think for five minutes about something other than their nine-to-five grind, then they are far from pointless.
Re: Doherty to star in autobiography flick?
hey, i'm with you on that one.
if the sun decided to start printing scandalous stories about joanna newsom's frequent drug-taking and/or promiscuous behaviour (which, by the way, i just made up), then i'd be first to defend her honour.
i just think pete asks for it rather a lot.
also, condoning drugs isn't going to win you any friends here, pal.

Re: Doherty to star in autobiography flick?
i actually laughed out loud when i read that.
yes, i'm a straight edge joanna newsom fan.
i'm not, but when you condone pete doherty's drug intake, you're not just talking about cigarettes and alcohol, are you?
you might as well have just typed in big bold letters "hey! crack is ace! knock yourself out! literally!"

Re: Doherty to star in autobiography flick?
Perhaps that's because most of the news that comes of their camp can be filed under that catagory..?
Doherty to star in autobiography flick?
i said this would happen but i would of thought they'd wait for him to die before they made a film about him
Re: Doherty to star in autobiography flick?
but saying "doing drugs are great" is to ignore the misery that drugs like crack inevitably cause in the life of whoever becomes addicted to them
Doherty to star in autobiography flick?
I think its hilarious. I don't like any Libertines or Babyshambles records, its all about the mythology. But I do like a good scandal. it makes me laugh my ass off. Its very annoying the way the NME loves him so much.
Re: Doherty to star in autobiography flick?
A titbit of news re that tour: apparently Doherty sacked the band, and that's why the album's nowhere near finished and the tour was postponed.
I think it'd be better for all involved if Pete now finished the Babyshambles thing altogether and disappeared for a year to sort himself out. I dislike his music, that much is true, but it's so depressing to see a guy day in day out on the verge of absolute self-destruction. He's already a burnt-out shell.
He should be allowed/he should have the sense to go away and get his shit together. Ditch the celebrity girlfriend unless she wants to help him, and get out of the public eye.
The album will never happen unless circumstances change, and the only way they will is if the key protagonist of the piece takes a step back with a clear head and realises what a complete shambles - no pun intended - it is.
Blah...

I've got nothing against Pete Doherty. I like the Libs and really liked Babyshambles for a while but lately it has just become ridiculous to the point where I can't be bothered to be a 'fan' anymore. It's all become a massive farce culminating in the last few months.
Of course, he's been on crack for years and nothing is new there, but now everything he does is in the Sun and on the net within 5 minutes of something happening. I actually believe he is a genuinely nice bloke, the problem is he is vulnerable, extremely gullible and naive. He befriends and trusts people too easily and gets drawn in to these situations he can't get out of. He needs to go away and come back in 6 months to a year. He really needs to get out of the limelight. The sad thing is - he won't.

I personally don't think this will happen. I'd definately check it out if it did. I think if it showed the demise of the Libertines it would be a very interesting thing to watch.
Not to be a cynic but I reckon its just rumours.
