Welcome to Rock Daily’s new column tracking rock on the big screen. Stay tuned so you don’t miss the next Walk the Line, The Doors or, yes, Get Rich or Die Tryin’. Stalker alert: A film about the fan culture surrounding Smiths leader Morrissey titled Passions Just Like Mine has just completed filming. According to Urbancowgirlproductions.com, the feature-length documentary “tells the story of how fan culture can manifest itself.?” Cameras follow Moz fanatics to Morrissey conventions and tribute shows as the filmmakers atempt to explain how people became completely obsessed with the singer.? Sounds kind of disturbing to us. Check out a clip here. Oscar-buzz alert: Ray’s Jamie Foxx has signed on to star in another music biopic, The Soloist. Directed by Pride and Prejudice’s Joe Wright, Fox plays musical prodigy, Nathaniel Ayers, who developed schizophrenia during his second year at Juilliard and ended up on the streets of Los Angeles, where he played violin and cello for passersby under what he believed to be the protection of the spirit of Beethoven. Ayers got the public’s attention through a twelve-part series written by Steve Lopez in 2005 for the LA Times. Foxx, who has already mastered the piano, is being taught stringed instruments by a cellist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Ice Cube (again) alert: The MC and Fred Durst just signed on to begin shooting Comeback, an inspirational football drama based on a true story. Cube will star in the film — playing a former high school football star who takes his niece under his wing as she becomes the first female quarterback in Pop Warner football history — as well as produce, while Limp Bizkit’s Durst will direct. Of course, this isn’t Durst’s first time in the director’s chair; he debuted his directorial skills in The Education of Charlie Banks. We applaud his efforts to stay behind the camera, rather than in front of it.

Best Buy Starts Selling the iPhone What a Former Hockey GM Can Tell the Music Industry Subscribe to Portfolio magazine For 20 years, Ted Harbert worked at ABC. He started there right out of college in 1977, when the network, along with CBS and NBC, was the only game in town and was the hit factory responsible for Happy Days; Charlie's Angels; Rich Man, Poor Man and Roots. By 1996, when Harbert was running ABC, those glory days were ending. All three networks were still colossal, but Fox had established its beachhead, and cable's market penetration was almost complete. The '80s had seen the rise of MTV. And CNN was by then a big deal, not just an incinerator for Ted Turner's extra cash. ESPN was competing aggressively. Individually, none of these channels got much of a rating most of the time, but the damage was starting to add up. "People would say, 'Oh, they're nibbling away, they're nibbling away,'" Harbert recalls. "And we would always say, 'Well, they can nibble, but they're never gonna really take us.' And then they took us." Today, Harbert is president and C.E.O. of the Comcast Entertainment Group. He oversees The Style Network, G4—a six-year-old channel aimed at young men who love videogames—and C.E.G.'s most recognizable offering, E!, which features celebrity news. E! ranks 31st among the most-watched basic-cable channels, which means that, in general, less than 1 percent of America's 112 million TV households are watching it during prime time. Yet Harbert is probably sleeping better these days than his former colleagues at the broadcast networks. When Harbert talks about television, it's with the sober clarity of someone who has looked at life from both sides now and has seen that only one business model is working. Cable networks target just those viewers who want what they have to offer. Broadcast networks want everyone. And the business of wanting everyone has neve
