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.
