Johnny Cash Movie

We are now only six days away from the Johnny Cash movie. For what I understand it follows the standard conventions of the rockumentary of which I will never tire: a young talent, a drug spiral nearly destroying the young talent, and then a redeeming comeback with a love story.

For those who might be interested in an extended free online video that's totally separate from the movie you might want to check out: http://www.johnnycash.com/memorial/. It features Johnny Cash and not Joaquin Phoenix singing, a welcome departure from the movie; however it also features Johnny Cash acting... Enough said. In all seriousness, I'm in favor of Joaquin's singing in the Johnny Cash movie. Trying to dub in Cash's real vocals would just be weird.
