PHOTOS Sean Penn in hard rock drag for ‘This Must be the Place’

Sean Penn is currently filming The Rocky Horror Picture Show Part 2 This Must be the Place in which he plays Cheyenne, a retired rock star looking for his Jewish father’s killer and nice pair of fishnet stockings.

Apparently retired rock stars wander the streets of New York in make-up and wigs. Should someone let Ozzy know? Or is this just an offensive stereotype? If so, you retired rock stars need to speak out! (To be honest, from the thumbnails I thought these were photos of Juliette Lewis but upon closer inspection I realized they were actually photos of Kristen Stewart from 30 years in the future.)

In what looks to be a bizarre mix of The Wrestler, Hedwig and the Angry Inch and The Odessa File, Sean Penn tries to set things right with his recently deceased father by tracking down the SS-officer who tormented him while he was imprisoned in Auschwitz. Here is a summary from IMDB followed by more photos of Sean Penn:

Cheyenne, a wealthy former rock star (Penn), now bored and jaded in his retirement embarks on a quest to find his father’s persecutor, an ex-Nazi war criminal now hiding out in the U.S. Learning his father is close to death, he travels to New York in the hope of being reconciled with him during his final hours, only to arrive too late. Having been estranged for over 30 years, it is only now in death that he learns the true extent of his father’s humiliation in Auschwitz at the hands of former SS Officer Aloise Muller – an event he is determined to avenge. So begins a life-altering journey across the heartland of America to track down and confront his father’s nemesis. As his quest unfolds, Cheyenne is reawakened by the people he encounters and his journey is transformed into one of reconciliation and self discovery. As his date with destiny arrives and he tracks down Muller, Cheyenne must finally decide if it is redemption he seeks.
