Posted by: Gary Gray: Nico was a fashion model, actress, and composer who is best known as the female lead vocalist on the 1967 debut album by famed band The Velvet Underground. Now, a film is in the works about her life with David Mackenzie directing and Tilda Swinton starring. Swinton has mentioned "I'm completely committed to playing Nico. We're doing it but I think he [David Mackenzie] has to do something else in between. So don't hold your breath because it'll be a year or so away minimum". The Nico project is based on a book by a guy that was in the band that she was in in the early 80s, so the book is a great resource in terms of the character and the surroundings.
