Universal Pictures has set David Benioff to write an untitled drama about the life of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, reports Variety.

The studio has acquired rights to "Heavier Than Heaven," a Cobain biography written by Charles Cross.

The film is a co-production between Working Title and Reveille Motion Pictures. Eric Fellner, Tim Bevan, Ben Silverman and Graham Larson will produce. Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, will executive produce with Howard Weitzman.

Benioff most recently scripted The Kite Runner as well as the upcoming Gavin Hood-directed X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Brothers, the Jim Sheridan-directed drama.


damn it i was hoping for a more interesting writer, hopefully he isnt director.

haha

oh good, he is just a writer
please let it be a good director

i was really wanting linklater to direct the movie, who ever does it i hope they capture the look and feel of the 80s/90s.

yeah linklater would be awesome!

i'm pretty sure if courtney is involved in it it's gonna be biased...... and shit too, probably. although i would still watch it.

of course

would of been cool if it got a different sort of treatment like the new bob dylan film, but we will prob just get another Ray or Walk the Line

well Joe Anderson seems like a pretty good person for the roll of Cobain

no, they need to cast matt the cobain wanabee

Hopefully they won't screw it up. I doubt they will since this movie is on a high pedestal.

bumpy bump
goodnight

I will be surprised if Courtney Love can remember anything about their time together what with the 20th century being a bit of a blur to her and all

Great, another "let's make money off the dead guy" film.

i really hope Jamie Foxx gets the lead...

^^Yeah, and Jennifer Lopez can be Courtney Love...

Ha ha !!:D
matt the cobain, mr ANAL 's friend, why not ?

That'd be great !!!

haha if you kept up with my cobain poser hunt youll see i found a much better candidate.

and he is spose to be related to kurt!

I hope they show the part where courtney puts a shotgun to his head.

it would be really dramatic if they leave out the part of her pulling the trigger and just cut to the part where she uses her panties to wipe off the prints.

Yeah. Totally pointless exercise. Cobain's dirty laundry has already been well and truely displayed to the public, what is there it can tell us that we don't already know?

Cobain is inimitable. They'd better pay tribute.

They'll be too scared not to. They know that if they don't tell the story the way that the Church of St Cobain wants to hear it, they'll probably wake up the next morning with a horse's head on the neighbouring pillow.

what about ryan gosling as krist

:D Better than this dickhead ?

 

You have to show me this asshole.

Or worse; a horse might wake up next morning with a human pillow on the neighbouring head...

oh dude
matt is his 100% him self compared to this other guy..its sooo bad

this new guy got married in hawaiii like kurt..in the same month..
he has photos done that are near replicas of kurts
and pulls the same facial expressions
his band is named Perfume..which is said to be kurts fav book.

and what i love the most is...this guy and matt and another KCwannaB all talk and comment each other.

and here he is

I'm confused. aren't YOU a KC wannabe?

don't lie. we're all friends here (mostly).

a kcwannab? how so?

And he even named his myspace bodda what is his childhood imaginary friend. Funny.

haha yeh i forgot about that bit too
read about how he is spose to be kurts cousin..

u still didnt answer floating

What the fuck !!!:eek:
What a prick !!!
This guy is just dumb, no personnality,....
He also says that he likes Sonic Youth. I think he must have seen them on "The Year Punk Broke", but he doesn't understand their music at all. Too complicated for him.
Congratulation Mr ANAL, great find !!!

This was supposed to go in here first, but I'm an idiot, so it's in both threads.








That's just sick.

those are totally different mang...dudes not wearing the same shirt as kurt...his girl looks nothing like courtney...they are not holding flowers...the sky is clear in theirs, and with kurt the clouds are totally everywhere...there is some beach behind them, and not so with k+c...there are trees and a house in background in other one...

Well it's kind of overcast in dude's.
And the shirt is the same style, with a pocket on the same side.
They're also both wearing necklaces.
And there are flowers in dude's, just less of them and in the form of a lei.
The wind, however, is blowing a different way.

The only way I'll see this is if Dave Grohl plays himself.

its rumoured this guy is in high talks to play kurtis.

He does not look like him, he does not have any appearances that might make him look like kurt.

but a lot of people want this guy

he can sing too.

He is gorgeous.

he is very.
check out more pic if you have not already
he does resemble kurt much
theres a link earlier on in this thread of him singing in his movie too.

But he is way better than the other one, so who cares.
