Hollywood Finds Its Kurt Cobain
After several rumors and many delays, the upcoming Kurt Cobain biopic may have finally found its star. Scottish actor James McAvoy, who first caught Hollywood’s attention in the Oscar-winning Last King of Scotland, is the suspected frontrunner to play the reluctant voice of a generation. The film will be based on the Charles Cross biography Heavier Than Heaven, with Cobain’s widow Courtney Love producing and Troy (yes, that Troy) screenwriter David Benioff writing the script. Months ago, Love stated that the film would “of course be A-list and high-end.” We’re betting it’ll at least be better than that t.A.T.u. flick.
Is McAvoy a good match to play Cobain? Any thoughts on who should play modern day Yoko Courtney Love?

Why make a movie about him? I think that takes away from him as a person and singer. I mean didn’t he hate when people built him up as more than just a normal person? Don’t get me wrong I’m a huge fan but who knows

I think that Joe Anderson would be a perfect role for Kurt Cobain but i heard that Ryan Gosling is gonna play Kurt and Scarlett Johansson is gonna play Courtney Love… well in other words I just hope that the movie is gonna be great and that they pull it off! (the roles I mean)
