sep 12, 2013 - HUFFPOST Lucky Them: TIFF Film Mixes Toni Collette, Grunge, Groupies And Johnny Depp

Description:

Apparently the film's musical love-in was just short of all-powerful, though. It was enough to convince Johnny Depp to make a cameo appearance as the Cobain-esque rocker that Collette has been searching for, but not quite enough to convince him that he should provide the vocals for his character's music.

"I brought it up on set," Griffiths admits. "I just asked him if he would ever consider singing for a film and he said only if forced. Obviously, he loves music. He plays guitar and and he plays with bands and just sort of shows up and does cameo backing spots. I think he would love do that kind of thing, but I don't think singing is his first love. 'Sweeny Todd' was the exception to the rule. I don't have the sway that Tim Burton does.”
