October 18, 2007

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.

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.

king_buzzo · 10.21.2007, 04:38 AM

yeah linklater would be awesome!

avantgarde1 · 10.21.2007, 05:11 AM

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.

ALIEN ANAL · 10.21.2007, 05:13 AM

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

ALIEN ANAL · 10.21.2007, 10:41 AM

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

no, they need to cast matt the cobain wanabee

SynthethicalY · 10.21.2007, 11:32 AM

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

ALIEN ANAL · 10.21.2007, 02:19 PM

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

pbradley · 10.21.2007, 05:45 PM

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

davenotdead · 10.21.2007, 06:31 PM

alyasa · 10.22.2007, 08:03 AM

ALIEN ANAL · 10.22.2007, 08:32 AM

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!

floatingslowly · 10.22.2007, 08:35 AM

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?

alyasa · 10.22.2007, 08:40 AM

Cobain is inimitable. They'd better pay tribute.

sonicl · 10.22.2007, 08:46 AM

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.
