Totally amped about the new Crowe/ Lee flick...
One question for any preview crowds out there - is there any
reference to Fast Times at Ridgemont High?
If you don't know, Fast Times at Ridgemont High was actually based
on a non-fiction book by Crowe - weird. Crowe actually went back
"undercover" to high school to gather info for the book (after he had
already graduated). This project came about during his rock-writer
years.
Seeing how Almost Famous is basically based on Crowe's
experiences as an adolescent rock writer, wouldn't be cool if they
could do a flick about how he wrote the Fast Times book?
Sincerely,
No life.
