Joey Ramone's brother Mickey Leigh wants Johnny Depp to play Dee Dee Ramone in the film adaptation of his new book "I Slept With Johnny Ramone."

Leigh is convinced an unknown should play his late brother in the biopic, which is currently in the hands of producer Rory Rosegarten, but he has a few suggestions for the supporting cast.

He quips, "Maybe Howard Stern could play Joey. It's not up to me so I haven't really thought about it but, just for kicks... they're talking about an unknown... Maybe Adrien Brody - he's a tall skinny guy. I think Kevin Bacon would be great to play Johnny Ramone; he's a musician... and maybe Johnny Depp to play Dee Dee if he'd take on a small role."
