Jackson Rathbone won't be in Lords of Chaos


Exclaim reports:


The worldwide black metal community, long divided by such burning issues as which bands are “true” and what bands are “cult,” can now finally unite: Twilight heartthrob Jackson Rathbone will not play infamous black metal trailblazer/recently released prisoner/Burzum kingpin Varg Vikernes in an upcoming movie adaptation of the Lords of Chaos book. [Citing scheduling conflicts].



The book — which looks at the ‘90s Norwegian black metal scene, with its church burnings, murders, and prison sentences galore — was released in 1998 and has become a point of contention within black metal, with some claiming it’s exploitative and inaccurate and others claiming it’s a definitive tome.


Um - isn't this old news? Remember the 100 Monkeys Interview in Vancouver?

Either way - sad but true...
