Looks like he will be busy filming this. Culture Clash! Punk gets the Billy Elliot treatment What a punk: Jonathan Rhys Meyers will play the late Joe Strummer in a new film about The Clash +5 What a punk: Jonathan Rhys Meyers will play the late Joe Strummer in a new film about The Clash Tudors star Jonathan Rhys Meyers is to play the late punk singer Joe Strummer in a new film about The Clash. The musical movie, called London Town, will start filming in the capital next month. But bizarrely – given that it is about the rebellious rock band – its plotline will resemble Billy Elliot, the stage show and movie about a young ballet dancer. ‘It will be a very similar format,’ said Jonathan, 36. ‘It’s a music-infused story set in 1978 about a 13-year-old boy who goes to London to find his estranged mother after she sends him a tape of The Clash’s White Riot.’ Daniel Huttlestone, who was young Gavroche in the movie of Les Misérables, will play the boy. But Liv Tyler, originally cast as the boy’s mother, dropped out of the production last week, blaming ‘scheduling conflicts’.
