Nikki Finke is reporting that Universal Studios has greenlit
a Kurt Cobain biopic, based on Heavier Than Heaven, Charles R. Cross’ print
bio. Yes, we’ll wait a moment for you to take that in.
Oh, and it’s being produced by Courtney Love and
her lawyer.
(Sigh.)
We think that if this actually happens, Ryan Gosling pretty
much has it locked up, but you know, the guy’s been pretty classy thus far, so
maybe he’ll bow out. Michael
Pitt's presumably not famous enough. Any other ideas? Part
of us really wants to see Zac Efron mainlining some smack and puking backstage
at SNL, but that’s just crazy talk. This is a Universal pic, after all, not
Disney! — Bryan Christian
