Hey everyone, my friend is a huge Jaco fan, ( I am too, but not like him)
He told me that there is going to be a audition I think on youtube, for the role of Jaco in a movie thats going to be made. Wondered if anyone knows about this, did a wor  d search but cant come up with anything. I am a little old but I wouldn't mind giving it a shot, how about it? Anybody got any info on this?

| | | | it'll be much better without any well known stars.
keep it more underground.
trying to make some big budget film out of it isn't going to happen, how many really know jaco other than jazz fans and bass players.
saw mongol last night so glad tom cruise wasn't genghis khan in this

But maybe they want a "body double" maybe "hand double" - so you see Johnny playing from a distance and then it cuts to somebody else's hands playing Jaco's famous bass lines!! 
I don't think anybody who isn't practicing bass every day could play some of Jaco's stuff.

Another option is Keanu, he has that junk-head manerism, but I think he may look too humble, which goes against everything that is Jaco. But he already plays bass.

It would be challenging but not impossible to cop Jaco's lines - he doesn't have to have the improvisational/compositional skills, he would just need to learn the lines.
I would guess that they would just dub in either Jaco or someone else over whomever was acting, however. |
