New Cobain Movie On The Way

Posted by Mike D'Alonzo - Friday, October 19, 2007 12:27 PM

David Benioff, who wrote Troy, is taking a crack at writing a movie about the life of Kurt Cobain based, at least partially, on Charles Cross' 2001 book "Heavier Than Heaven." Also interesting about the project is that Cobain's widow Courtney Love, is on board the project as one of the Executive Producers.

There's no word on whether Courtney will appear onscreen as herself, but, with the extensive plastic surgery she's had since Kurt's death, she probably will look less like herself than an actor they might hire to play her. Besides, we all know she can't act. Benioff, incidentally, also wrote Wolverine.

We'd so much rather see these movies combined, it's not even funny.

I read HtH years ago. It's a great book and Oprah should introduce it into her book club circuit. Do not make a movie of it.

He'd be rolling over in his grave if he heard this. I don't support anything Courtney Love's involved in to exploit his name.

Courtney Love is an Executive Producer? This film has FAIL written all over it already, despite the writer's past abilities.

Ok... of course Courtney Love is all over anything Kurt Cobain, if she ain't cashin' on it, it ain't happening.

We conspiracy theorists all know that Courtney Love had Mr. Cobain killed, so WHY IS SHE STILL PROFITING FROM THE FACT THAT HE'S DEAD?! It's outright SACRILEGE that she's not only off of the chair, but still gleaning money off of Kurt Cobain's corpse. Hanging is far too good for that murdering whore!
