Pete Doherty to play Zombie in Ripper

Hahahahaha! I can’t help but laugh at this new development. News has it that Joss Whedon, the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, is currently working on a spin-off series called Ripper for the BBC. And Joss thinks that Pete Doherty will be perfect for the role of a zombie.
He said, “Pete seemed the obvious choice, with his love of the macabre. The blood paintings and the self-styled night creature existence are perfect. It’s thought he’ll play an approximation of his real-life persona; the zombie remnants of a rock star and poet unable to rest and therefore haunting London. With grisly results, of course.â€
Well, the make-up artists don’t even have to do anything. Pete is the epitome of a living zombie, so the role is just perfect for him. Even a Botox Shenectady would have a hard time making that look alive.
