Love picks actors for Cobain bio-pic

Courtney Love has signed on as Executive Producer of the upcoming Nirvana bio-pic, Heavier Than Heaven, which is based on Charles Cross's biography of Kurt Cobain.

For the £30 million flick, Love has apparently vetoed Spiderman star Kirsten Dunst portraying her on the big screen, and apparently wants to see Scarlett Johansson in the role.

"Kirsten Dunst was rumoured to be in the frame, but Courtney really admires Scarlett and has already sent the contract out for her to sign," a source close to Cobain's widow told British newspaper The Mirror. "This is a labour of love for Courtney and she is putting her heart and soul into making it an accurate, credible glimpse of her life with Kurt."

As for her late husband, Love is apparently gunning for Goosebumps / Fracture star Ryan Gosling. Filming begins later this year.

well im not gunna be one of those ones that say that she killed him, but its quite a cowinkydink that she's signed on as the producer. and yeah right those pair are way too pretty to play her. Ewan magregor should play kurt he looked so much like him in the film velvet goldmine.

Kurt killed Courtney!

Yes! And after killing her, he skinned her corpse, and is now wearing her skin, pretending to be her, like Buffalo Bill from The Silence of The Lambs.
And since Courtney was so fugly already, nobody\'s noticed the difference.

Hmmm...

The theories around Kurt Cobains death have always fascinated me. I don't really agree with making a film/making money out of it all though.

Cool!

I love going to see films. Even if I do know how they will end. It could be good, lots of booze and plenty of shooting up. I wonder how they will handle the ending?

Make it an 18 cert with plenty of claret and brain tissue please.

Thanks!

Oh my...

Sorry, but as a true Kurt Cobain fan i dont want to see Courtney EFFIN 'love' in anything to do with him! They may have killed each other when together, but let him leave peacefully without her please! She shouldnt be allowed to do anything like that, she bloody killed him or at least made him do it :@
This film if it does wrongly go ahead will have to be amazing for me to even set eyes on it haha. Sorry to annoy anyone! (:

Its better to burn out than fade away

Kurt was my idol when i was a kid (10-11), and the only one i ever had. This was before it was cool to like Nirvana, instead i used to get bullied for it. lol So I would like to remember him for the music, and for how he used to make me feel. This movie with Love under the helm will be an unfair reflection of the man, and could tarnish his legend. Making a movie, or any money from Kurts death is wrong, infact its against everything he died for!!!

OUTRAGE

This whole thing is total outrage.

Courtney Love KILLED Kurt Cobain...Well actually, she paid someone to "whack" him and if anyone has seen the documentary "Kurt and Courtney" you would know that.

Theres way to much evidence to say its a suicide.. so please, for those of you that are that stupid to believe it was. go to hell :)

Courtney Love should have NOTHING to do with the making of this.

Kurt Cobain was a legend. Still is, and no one could portray him even if they tried.

This is just another way for Courtney to make money and get noticed since the only way she is famous in the first place is because of Kurt and everything he did for her.

If it werent for him, she would be living on the streets, doped up and talentless..like she so plainly is.

R.I.P Kurt....Courtney will get whats coming to her.

The Devil Is The Producer

how the hell can she make a movie on kurt! shes a sick sick person, first she killed him, for money and still making money out of him after he's dead and is probably even the person behind the kurt cobain figures.
you can she its all me me me with her aswell, she's wants to be played by the stunning scarlett johansson and she wants kurt to be played by some dude i havent even heard of.

I nearly threw up in my mouth.

I think this is a bad idea. Kurt Cobain is dead, has nobody noticed that?

Okay, so Courtney Love is trying to do something "nice" but I don't think this is the right way about it.


Get the fuck over it, Kurt Cobain shot and killed himself. He was a totally fucked up guy, he wanted to, and he did it. If you didn't already know, he had attemped suicide many times before. He wanted to die. Let it fucking go.

That woman is foul. One minute she's taking people to court over releasing a previously un-released Nirvana song the next she's prepared to make a film about her late husband! She needs to get her priorities straight. Stupid woman.

AND ANOTHER THING MR KNOW IT ALLS

if you want to read a "true" story about NIRVANA and not how kurts a suicdal depressed little shit, then read NIRVANA by EVERETT TRUE, we was one of his best friends who was a journalist that toured with the band everywhere, he'll tell you all the lies in heavier than heaven and he'll show you that KURT WAS NOT A DEPRESSING LITTLE FUCK, so did he kill himself? i dont think so if you want my oppinion, but i do think someone helped him. but he deffinately not pull the trigger of a gun that was longer than his own fuckin arm, how the fuck did he blow his own head off if the gun was longer than his arm. Use common sense people. And Courtney Love was in Europe the day he died. So....??? lets just keep it a ? and stop playing this guessing game, who killed 2pac, no one will ever know shit. If your so smart go arrest somebody
