Spin’s article asks, Will the ‘CBGB’ Soundtrack Give ’70s American Punk Its ‘Big Chill’?

God I hope not.

If there’s one era that doesn’t need “Big Chill” sentimentalizing, it’s punk.So who’s missing?

There is one Joey Ramone track, but I don’t see The Ramones anywhere.

I know that The Shirts appear in the movie, but their sound wasn’t so much punk and they’ve largely faded from rock history.

And here again are a few photos that I took in July 2012 during CBGB shooting here in Savannah. These pics include Rupert Grint, Justin Bartha, Alan Rickman, and Donal Logue.

XLrator Media has acquired U.S. rights to distribute CBGB, the film about the iconic New York City club that gave rise to the punk movement in America.

It will be released during the CBGB Musical Festival, which runs from Oct. 9-13 in the Big Apple.

The Randall Miller-directed film stars Alan Rickman as CBGB founder Hilly Kristal and Ashley Greene as his daughter, Lisa. Also: Malin Ackerman as Debby Harry; Rupert Grint as Cheeta Chrome; and Joel David Moore as Joey Ramone, among others.

Here’s the slightly too long preview video about the CBGB Festival:

I noted the good reception at a recent private screening here in Savannah for CBGB, but it will be interesting to see if the movie truly catches the flavor of the historical scene and if moviegoers propel it to screens nationwide.

While I’d say it’s still likely that CBGB could play at the Savannah Film Festival in the last week of October, the timing of the release might mean that the film has already been seen widely in theaters.

Click on through to find CBGB on Facebook:

Open Road Films and Unclaimed Freight Productions†Randall Miller and Jody Savin are partnering to bring My Cross To Bear, Gregg Allmanâ€s autobiography to the screen.

Miller and Savin produced CBGB, about the famous New York City rock ‘n†roll club, which is being repped in the Cannes Film Market by The Exchange. They will produce Cross, about the legendary blues singer, along with their music business partner, Brad Rosenberger. Savin and Miller also will write the screenplay, with Miller directing. Open Road will handle U.S. distribution.

The only real news here is the addition of Open Road Films to the project.

As I’ve cautioned here before, the movie business is amazingly fluid. The CBGB team has already put a couple of previously announced projects on the backburner, apparently even giving up on one completely.

Still, each additional company announced as being involved with the Allman biopic brings it one step closer to reality.

In a post a couple of days ago, I noted that a special screening of CBGB in Savannah might have been in part to lure additional investors to the new film.

A friend who attended wasn’t even quite sure who was behind the event, but at least one key player from Meddin Studios, where much of the film was shot, was prominently greeting guests.

“I really liked it,” reported a friend who saw the film, while also acknowledging that it’s possible he/she was being overly generous since he/she had been one of the select few who got invited to the screening. This friend was impressed by the work of Alan Rickman, but said no when I asked if, as CBGB owner Hilly Kristal, the character was “interesting and compelling.”

Some of us had been concerned that the plot would focus too much on Hilly’s daughter Lisa, played in the film by Ashley Greene, but my friend said that the family dynamics did not get in the way of the main story about the founding and early years of the iconic club. My friend was impressed with the music and all the songs that the filmmakers secured rights, as well as with the performances of some of the big names attached to the project, including Rupert Grint as The Dead Boys’ Cheetah Chrome and Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins as Iggy Pop.

My source in attendance did note the stark difference every time the shooting location shifted from Savannah to New York City. Now, this is someone who knows Savannah really well, and it’s common knowledge that the filmmakers did not make extreme changes to the streetscapes that were used. I will likely have the same problem when I see the film. Will an unbiased viewer buy into the illusion, even if just for two hours, that the action is really taking place in NYC decades ago?

CBGB has a really active Facebook page these days, filled with photos and interesting updates, including this pic (presented here through the ethically dubious process of the WordPress embed plugin, if it’s working today):

There’s also this funny clip with Justin Bartha on Conan talking about his full body waxing.

Of course, I’ve done zillions of posts here at Savannah Unplugged about the film.

I also posted a fair number of pics from the outdoor sets last summer. I have more shots, actually, that I’m holding off on until nearer the theatrical release date, which is yet to be determined.

Click here for CBGB on IMDB.

UPDATE: There has been some suggestion that a key reason for the screening was to court potential investors in the Gregg Allman biopic that the filmmakers are planning.

Here’s one of the galleries of photos from the CBGB set that I posted last year:

I had a good time talking to this guy.

Today, the CBGB Facebook page posted this great video of John Holmstrom, co-founder of Punk Magazine, talking about the authenticity of the production.

The post also plugs the new book The Best of Punk Magazine, which you can read more about on the publication’s website.

I suppose I should note that in a recent Savannah appearance, Punk co-founder Legs McNeil directly questioned whether Holmstrom’s memories of the CBGB era would be reliable. I suspect there will be many different memories of CBGB, even from those most involved in the scene.

In the clip below, you’ll see shots of the exterior set on Congress Street, as well as the reconstructed interior of the club at Meddin Studios.

Just for the heck of it, I’ll also append a gallery of photos that I took of the filming, including shots of Rupert Grint, Justin Bartha, Donal Logue, and — of course — Alan Rickman. For more info on these pics, click here.

I had a good time talking to this guy.

Before I move on, I suggest you take the title of this post seriously: it’s uncensored. The Google ads might disappear because of F bomb appearances. Fair warning.

If you don’t know about McNeil or McCain or their work, slide on over to the Please Kill Me website.

The evening got rolling with McNeil reading from his apparently-just-completed and soon-to-be-published book about a brief, intense love affair more than ten years ago with a young woman who appeared at one of his readings.

Unbeknownst to McNeil until just before her death, she was a heroin addict — she died after injecting black tar heroin that led to an infection and a sudden amputation during which she died.

McNeil began the story this way: “When I got out of my last rehab . . .”

But this wasn’t drug or alcohol rehab — the 50-something McNeil has been sober for years. This was a rehab years after the fact to try to deal with the lasting trauma of his girlfriend’s death. After taking the audience through a little background, he read the opening of the book.

I was struck by a number of things: how much the emotional landscape of our youth stays with us as we get older, by the ways in which the older and more famous McNeil obsessed about the young woman as if she were the star. I also couldn’t help wondering if there wasn’t something about her addiction that attracted him even if he didn’t know about it.

McNeil and McCain read jointly from Please Kill Me — alternating the voices for a brief section of Please Kill Me. And yes, in case you were wondering, David Bowie is (or was) bisexual.

The authors noted that they used only a tiny percentage of their recorded interviews for the final text. So we might one day get a flood of new detail about seminal cultural figures like Iggy Pop and the Ramones.

Jim Reed of Knocked Out Loaded Concerts asked a question about Patti Smith and her refusal to participate in McNeil’s book. “Legs, I’m a wife and a mother now,” Smith apparently said, which took McNeil on an interesting tangent about Just Kids, Smith’s National Book Award-winning chronicle of her friendship with Robert Mapplethorpe. McNeil was clear that Smith leaving out so many details of Mapplethorpe’s sexual exploits amounted to a kind of untruth.

I asked about anything that truly shocked the authors when they were doing the interviews.

“Everything,” McNeil said — but I’m not really convinced of that. McCain then recalled an incident that really shocked her. They were interviewing Bebe Buell — the former model and Playmate — when Buell’s teenage daughter, Liv Tyler, wandered into the room in the skimpiest of underwear. In a book filled with so much casual sex and voracious drug use, that’s a curious detail to find shocking. In any world, there are moments for propriety.

I asked about the upcoming movie CBGB and relay a couple of McNeil’s thoughts in my City Talk column tomorrow. But I didn’t quote one gem about how tough and sometimes unlikable club owner Hilly Kristal’s daughter Lisa was. “We all applauded the night that Hell’s Angel decked her,” he said.

Life at CBGB was apparently relentlessly seedy and fun — at least in the punk era. (The club closed a number of years ago and is now a John Varvatos store.) Asked about times that stood out, McNeil said that all the nights were fun in those days — and he noted the routine oral sex he got from a waitress in CBGB’s iconic phone booth (see it here).

But McNeil drew an interesting distinction between the licentiousness of that era and today’s culture of hooking up: Back then, he said, “You really liked the people you were fucking.”

The Ramones was McNeil’s favorite band of the CBGB era, he said after I asked. And why?

“Because they were so fucking good.”

McNeil said that he still listens mainly to the bands from that era — The Ramones, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, The Dead Boys.

In somehow typical punk fashion, McCain and McNeil had sold out of books at earlier stops on their reading tour. So I thought I’d at least by a Please Kill Me t-shirt, but they didn’t have any men’s sizes left that were any bigger than medium.

But the evening wasn’t about sales — it was about memory, what we value, what we don’t, what we’ve done, and what we wish we’d done.

Star Ashley Greene, who plays Hilly Kristal’s daughter Lisa, posted the following comment to Twitter last night about 10 p.m.:

I didn’t get any shots of Greene while hanging out around the set, although I did get pics of others, including several of Alan Rickman and this one, which has made some rounds on the web, of Justin Bartha, Rupert Grint, and Bronson Adams as The Dead Boys:
