Headline: UNCAPTIONED: KISS fans underwhelmed by Nick Jonas biopic casting
Caption: KISS fans underwhelmed by Nick Jonas biopic casting. The singer has signed on to play frontman Paul Stanley in the KISS movie, Shout It Out Loud, set to be directed by Charlie's Angels and Transformers director, McG. However fans of the glam-rock group were quick to express confusion and in some cases unhappiness over the appointment of Nick, 32, believing his clean-cut image clashed with the rock and roll aesthetic. ”This casting just assures I will never watch this," one person commented on a Reddit post about the casting news, while another simply added, "Oh f**k no" and a third wrote, "Absolutely not, that's awful”. Others noted the band had enjoyed its fair share of controversy over the years. Several of its members openly admitted they had taken advantage of their star status to sleep with up to 5,000 women, while the band also caught flak for marketing a KISS-themed coffin. Elsewhere, commenters complained too many music biopics had been released lately. Movies about the lives of Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Bob Marley and Amy Winehouse were all released in the last two years.
