i want to see allll the bands, fuck, ill be so annoyed if we dont see other bands, i wanna see footage we have reinacted, stuff from the year punk broke redone. But we all know it will just focus on him running around from home to home as a teen for 20 minutes, then cutting to the release of Nevermind, montage of the high life, then courtney shit. buying a gun,A scene of him running into axel and axel slagging off courtney. a few OD scenes and him in rehab escaping. then the suicide

Courtney will definitely play a major part in the film as she's a celeb often gossiped about... and that she was a major part of Kurts life.

any idea as who to cast Dave and Krist.
When they were making Last Days and hadnt actually said that it wasnt a Kurt movie per say, i thought Lucass Hass was a good choice for Dave..then i found it wasnt dave and yeh.

For Daves casting just an idea

Krist looks like...
Just a regular guy.

ALIEN ANAL 01.20.2007 05:08 AM

they all look like reuglar guys, krist is tall and dark haired and has sad eyes and is hairy.

king_buzzo 01.20.2007 05:48 AM

krist is the best. not a metalhead, like dave and not a self loathing junkie that kurt is. krist rules

ALIEN ANAL 01.20.2007 06:15 AM

so im thinking maybe this guy could play Kurt maybe in younger years?, or axel rose for the confrontation scene, or thurston :D


 

Someone with photoshop skills, do some work on him, and see if he fits

Trasher02 01.20.2007 06:18 AM

I'm not too fussed about the prospect of a Nirvana film.
Although I guess Ewan McGregor had the right hair for the part when he was in Velvet Goldmine:

Can you get me more pics from velvet goldmine, i cant find any, and the movie isnt in my movie shop pleease

Thomas Moronic 01.20.2007 07:53 AM

I couldn't find too many picture from the film - only what they have when you do a Google Image Search. And there's only really a couple of scenes where Ewan McGregor actually looks like Cobain... In the others he has brown hair, and does his best Iggy Pop impressions. He's got the bleach job in this scene though:

Hope that helps?

so what the beans is velvet goldmine about anyway?

Thomas Moronic 01.20.2007 08:15 AM

It's a Todd Haynes film about the glam rock movement. All the characters are composites of the various musicians from the time - Bowie, Lou Reed etc. Christian Bale plays a journalist who is trying to find out what happened to all of the musicians once the glam scene died. Ewan McGregor plays Curt Wylde (his backing band the Wylde Rats includes Thurston Moore and Mark Arm), who is mostly based on Iggy Pop, but has a few bits inspired by Lou Reed also.

It got some awful reviews when it came out, but I'm quite fond of it in a way. I think Todd Haynes has a good way of telling stories.
