Cobain Actor Revealed?

James McAvoy is in the frame to play Kurt Cobain in the upcoming biopic about the life and death of the rock star, according to reports.

The actor, who has made his name with acclaimed roles in Shameless, The Last King Of Scotland, and Atonement, now looks set to bag the lead role in the Nirvana film.

Reports about the film, which Courtney Love will executive-produce, emerged earlier this month, after Universal Pictures apparently secured the rights.

The film will be based on Charles Cross's acclaimed book, Heavier Than Heaven, which was based on hundreds of interviews with the dead rock legend, his friends, and his family.

Troy screenwriter David Benioff is thought to be putting together the script, although there as yet no word if the other members of Nirvana will be consulted.

Since his suicide in 1994, Kurt Cobain has been the subject of numerous big screen interpretations, namely Gus Van Sant's Last Days in 2005.

Also due for release shortly is A.J. Schnack's About A Son, which incorporates 25 hours of interviews with the star, against an atmospheric cinematic backdrop.

sounds pretty cool. also, first comment.

[tasmo]

hopefully it will be a good movie! but with Courtney Love at the helm, i doubt it...

[jpast]

As much as I despise Courtney Love, she might actually be good for this movie because she probably knew Kurt better than anyone else, she was his wife..... unfortunately. Hope its good

[Inahrima]

Haha who wants to bet the movie will make Courtney look like an angel?

[I Can Sp311]

Stop milking the Cobain

yet another way for her to make his death look more like a suicide,

[zadzior]

^^ Exactly
I do not have anything against Courtney (yeah, I predict tons of comments saying how stupid I am, and even more about my grammar), but I'm totally against giving her rights to Nirvana's songs 'n stuff.

Anyway, it would be great if this movie was not only about Kurt, and I hope it will mention something about early Nirvana ('89).

[zadzior]

^^that was about Milking Cobain.

[False_God]

Bah. he doesnt look anything like kurt! :haha

And I agree on the courtney statement about looking like an angel!

[blackflag49]

I can tell this'll be a crappy movie.

Someday there will be a good movie on Cobain, and Nirvana, and it'll have Dave and Krist's input. I know this because, if no one else makes it, I will.

[sakura'sdarkest]

Every time I see that picture Kurts beard gets more pronouced >_

[soulphonate]

I think they will make things seem more epic than they really were. Anyways, I'll bet the movie will blow. Do you really think Kurt would approve of this?

[Shreddy Krueger]

hope this actually does justice to the genius of the 1990's!!!!!

The thing that made Cobain a genius is that he never wanted to be a genius, he just was!

If u listen to a Nirvana CD today, it still sounds fresh and new, that is a testament to his genius as a song writer!

I HOPE TO GOD THAT THIS MOVIE DOESN'T SUCK, DON'T MESS THIS UP COURTNEY!!!!!

[grunge geek al]

i really hope this movie does do Kurt Cobain justice, James McAvoy is an amazing actor, so i do believe he can do the role justice

[BMAN12688]

What about Joe Anderson from Across The Universe? has anyone seen him? Holy crap, especially when he whigs out, same face IMO.

but, hope its gooood

[KingSquall802]

who is james mc avoy?

[Kitson_The_Bass]

McAvoy is a fooking brilliant actor and I think he could pull it off. Better than the last person in the frame, Ewan McGreggor. But as the movie is based on Heavier Than Heaven it will include a fair bit about Nirvana. I just hope they put actual filmed gigs in instead of McAvoy & co trying to lip-sync over say 'Aneurysm' or 'Downer'.

This is what he looks like btw:

["Tele" Steve]

Doing a movie about Kurt Cobain is like doing a movie about The Beatles. No matter how good an actor is, I really don't think they can do an artist of this magnitude justice. But still, anything could happen. There's a lot stacked against him/the movie though for sure.

[Minzufbotdmelon]

Now all we gotta do is wait for courtney to sue the director and stop the film's release.

[tallicawashere]

Courtney Love will look like the only person who cared about Kurt and all that blah-blah-blah bullshit
i say someone cuts those baggy-ass pussy lips on her face and save her a lot of pain when she gets convicted for giving drugs to her daughter and lands a rough-trip 6'7 roommate named Molly

[Cafas]

Not a huge Nirvana fan, but they were a pretty good band. I respect Cobain as a songwriter, so I'd kind of be interested in seeing the movie. The Last King of Scotland was fantastic, and McAvoy can definitely act.

[nightmare10999]

I seriously hope that this movie doesn't suck. As a nirvana fan, I'm interested to see how Cobain is going to be portrayed, but I'm not going to get my hopes up, as the whole Courtney deal has me worried.

[Gee-Tar1]

So theres going to be the About A Son plus this movie? Thats awesome. Is this movie going to be in theatres or just limited?

[red157]

This film wasn't exactly needed, considering there are a million documentaries and one movie (Last Days was about Kurt Cobain, even dedicating it to him). But McAvoy is a great choice as Cobain, so surely the project can only go up.

[Korzack]

Executive producer is one of those titles that sounds all big n' Important, but it just means in terms of what gets spent on what, she's got the final say. In terms of artistic input, however, she has dick all.
Although I personally second the idea of using gig scene-lets as a way of moving the story along. However, we do need 3 extra actors for the other members (this including the original drummer before Grohl, if they include that part of things)

[rygun091]

this just.... doesn't need to happen.

[kaptink]

McAvoys pretty good, I don't reckon i could pick out a better actor to play Kurt.

[areese82]

Would Kurt really approve of this? Considering he didn't even really like being a rock star, what would he think of his wife turning his life story into a Hollywood movie?

[Regular_Guy]

areese82 wrote:

No, he would surely not approve of this. However, it does have the potential to be a really interesting movie. I really liked Ray and Down the Line, though I hated Dreamgirls. Hopefully they won't just show the post-Nevermind Cobain, and will actually put some thought into it and make a good film.
I wonder who will play people like Dave, Krist, Chad, and Butch Vig.

well said, u took the words right out of my keyboard

[triviumrain210]

i hope courtney doesn't leave out the part where she hired someone to kill cobain. i mean shit, he couldn't of killed himself cuz the amount of drugs they found in his body it was impossible for him to pick up the shotgun and pull the trigger. but hey, thats just my opinion. but i've always hated that bitch courtney.

so if its true...courtney screwed herself...and yet his death is still called a "suicide"

man i'm gonna watch it, but i also hate it.

[grungeisdead312]

sry i meant ^^ to the comment from triviumrain210

[Nebjy]

Charles Cross did a biography on hendrix, I'm going to read the Cobain one as soon as possible, Cross is a good author, so i bet them movie will be great.
However, courtney love will probably **** it all up.
The thing were the guy admits that courtney tried to hire him to kill kurt has been everywhere....

[samerika]

I'm looking for this movie, although i'm not a fan,

That's what pisses me off more than anything. The detective is probably gonna have a more accurate opinion than the police...

Checked.

[qotsa1998]

I think that Dave and Krist should at least make a cameo in the movie, even tho Krist looks completely different now than he did in the 80s. They should definately be consulted.

This shouldnt be a movie just about Kurt. he was a great songwriter, but wouldnt have been as famous as he was without Dave and Krist imo. Im looking forward to the movie, but a Kurt movie would be a bit boring imo.

[Spay]

She needs to move on... >.> Seriously.

Or perhaps, another conspiracy. Like what they did with Elvis. Cobain isn't actually dead, he's just under another name in a different country. (Suck it)

[punkrockdude2]

Gus Van Sant's Last Days worst movie ever...although Death To Birth was a good song

[guitgrinder]

^ Yeah, Last Days was so damn boring I almost commit suicide myself.

Anyway, if the movie bears the Love stamp of approval you know it's going to be a bunch of over exaggerated and fabricated shit.

[guitgrinder]

^ Yeah, Last Days was so boring I almost shot myself in the face.

Anyway, if the movie has Love's stamp of approval you know it's gonna be a bunch of over exxagerated and fabricated crap, making Cobain look perfect with some ******* band members.

[fede01_8]

I wonder who will play the rol of "El Duce"

[guitgrinder]

sorry about that double post! I actually went to other pages and when I came back my comment wasn't there... as you can see, the comments vary slightly and when I re-posted it decided to post both :/

[koerok]

That Love thing is SO gonna bend the truth.
Say i'm a fan boy or something but i'm still say MURDER!.
if she is going to produce or have something to do with it it will suck.
i'm NOT going to see this movie.
DIE COURTNEY DIE!!!

[Insomnia57]

If Cobain was alive today to see Courtney steal from his bandmates...I wonder...

[jshizznit]

no...i dont want other band members to make cameos...courtney might have to screw them for their approval...and then they wouldnt be sacred anymore

[Tele Echoes]

Oh boy, here we go. We have ourselves another "Kurt was murdered...Kurt was my hero, he'd never kill himself." Kurt was a good song writer and maybe an okay guy and maybe a kind loving man to a select few (Courtney, his daughter), but he was also a corporate rock star and a heroine addict. Those 2 things have a knack for trouble and death. His unfortunate fate would have come sooner had it not been for the woman all of you Nirvana obsessors seem so Hell bent on attacking. Sure, I don't agree with a lot of the things I hear about Courtney Love, and while I'm sure there's some truth to bits and pieces, I'm sure a lot of it's b.s. You should be glad Courtney was around to keep Kurt alive through 1993. What about that show were Kurt died and she revived him and he went out and played a set. She had to care for the 90s most beloved rock star while being hated by the whole world for it, and being called a murderer immediately following his death. Sure, the album "Live Through This" was a depressingly ironic name, and came out very close to his death, but shit like that happens. Do you think Jimi Hendrix meant to die in his sleep at the age of 27? I'm sure he didn't plan on going that way (although I know in an interview shortly before his death he stated he didn't see much more of a reason for him to continue being on the planet...)Do you think that Peace activist of internationally loved musician and icon John Lennon being killed in such a violent, hateful manner isn't unfortunately ironic, either? These awful things happen. Yeah, yeah...I've been to the Justiceforkurt site and read the stuff while the site plays the scary music. If you like believing all of that, then you're pretty sick.

Who knows, anything is possible and maybe it was murder....but his history of abuse shows that he certainly had a reckless approach to the idea of living a full life. A shame considering he had a little girl.

Insomnia57 wrote:

I'm pretty sure he had a huge disliking towards Grohl towards the end (I assume for being so stable and sobre or something) and had a falling out with Novoselic over being forced to rehab or something. I'm sure it doesn't even matter though.

[young_is_god]

james macavoy is amazing

[red157]

Insomnia57 wrote:

That implies Kurt cared for his bandmates, let alone cared for them as much as he did for Courtney.

[jakesmellspoo]

when it comes to the whole cobain conspiracy issue, i really don't bother with it, i just go by what i know. which is that he apparently first took an enormous dose of heroin, and then apparently shot himself in the mouth with a shotgun all according to the police report. my problem is that, when taking heroin with a needle the effect is almost instantaneous. apparently the amount he used was enough to incapacitate or even kill him. i'm not sure how he'd be able to actually pull off the last part in which he's supposed to have shot himself in the mouth. as an added bonus, i asked someone who has a lot of knowlege about guns and they told me that the only way he could have fired a shotgun at his own face was if it was a sawnoff or he had his shoes and socks off to pull the trigger with his toes.

[Anarchy_Ant]

For some reason i feel sure i've seen this announced aggges ago...aw well, great news.

[The Spoon]

Cool, id go watch it

[mr.glavin]

oh for ****s sake leave kurt alone the last thing he would want is for a movie to be made about him

[-heartbreaker-]

he kinda looks like him.
http://www.totalfilm.com/__data/assets/image/441704/mc avoy.jpg

this is approximately the 46th Kurt Cobain movie.

yeah kobain would of never killed himself. I mean he only tortured cats, a drug addict, had an unplaned son, a bitch for a wife, not wanting to be famous, got picked on in school. Yeah why would he kill himself.

[Soundyard]

James McAvoy actually does look a lot like Kurt, and who's that a picture of? Doesn't look like either kurt or james....hmmmm, is it just me?

[silentchris 154]

i will definitely watch this movie because im a big fan of nirvana

[IronMaiden5]

I think Kurt would have hated the fact that a movie is being made about him. He didn't even like the fact that his music was mainstream.

[titsmcgee852]

This should be good. im gunna watch it

Checked.

[dieinafire]

Wow. His music wasn't even that good, but since he offed himself after a bad case of emo now there's going to be a movie. Hopefully it will at least go straight to bargain bins and save us the previews.

[misirlou]

aw man, what happened to ewan mcgregor? i was looking forward to that...oh well, i hear this guy's good.

[Elohel]

People need to get the f*ck over Nirvana.

I mean, I like their music but Jesus. Give the man some peace.

[blindfatkid23]

that last days movie sucked really really bad. hope that one'll be better... if it is based on heavier than heaven, it should be pretty good, that book was awesome.

[blindfatkid23]

^ except at the ending, they say he killed himself but i wouldn't count on that too much.

[OzZY-RuLE5!!!!!]

courtney love providing information good to degree even though half of the things she says is total bull shit. but excutive producer who ****ing idea was that? she will make production on the movie a diaster until the director or whoever is in charge fire her.

[mygibsonrocks]

joe anderson looks a lot like kurt and has a great voice. they should look at him for this part instead of this guy.

[reason84]

I don't know, but you should give the actor a chance. I'm sure when Oliver Stone made 'the doors' movie and said Val Kilmer was playing Morrison, people were like 'wtf? He won't pull it off', when actually he did quite well.

And regarding Cobain's death, why does everything have to be a conspiracy? Can't people face reality? HE'S DEAD, and nothing will bring him back. Just ask Layne Staley, how come nobody has any conspiracies about him dying? Oh yeah, that's right, because he overdosed...just like Cobain would have eventually, as a matter of fact, Cobain practically died of an overdose in Rome just a month before his death...the drugs would have caught him eventually just like they did for Staley. Don't get me wrong, I love Nirvana, but some of you people need to face reality for once...especially when you have his own band mates and his own aunt that RAISED him say that him committing suicide wasn't a surprise (or will you morons say that they were paid off and threatened by Courtney to think that?).....and I'm pretty sure his own aunt and band members knew him more than any of you people Enough with the conspiracies already.....guess what? JFK has been dead for over 40 years and it doesn't matter who or how many people killed him because the fact won't bring all of the pieces of his shattered skull and brain matter back together. Hate to sound cynical, but just trying to be reasonable.

[johnmem]

This is bullshit. If kurt knew they were making a movie about him, he'd kill himself again. It's just more people making money off of him. I don't know about all this conspiracy talk, but i know kurt never wanted to be famous like he was. He felt like a sellout and he was unhappy because of it. This movie is just taking a big steamy shit on his grave.

[anthonyd3ca]

Can't wait to see it

[Yeathatwasme]

Wether courtney killed Kurt or not F*UCK HER how dare she make like this.

[mosh_rocker2006]

I'm sick of everyone whining about courtney love. Yes she's a bitch, but a movie like this is in memory of Kurt Cobain...and if anyone has read that book they'll understand me when i say it does the life of Kurt Cobain justice...

[MxGuitar]

Seriusly doubt this will bbe great, but atleast its something to kill time =P

[GoWithTheFlow]

the picture of Cobain looks more like the guy who owns Virgin

[tgd21]

people on this site are damn lame sometimes dude, whats the diference in this movie and the doors movie which is a kick ass movie, just cause someone dies we have to forget about them and not look into their lives, or what we know of them? **** it man its a flick that will be cool to watch man, if youre such a hardcore dude that its against your hardcoreness to watch a cobain/nirvana flick, hell, dont watch it then, but dont bitch man, it will sell i promise, and isnt that what movie producers are all about, anyway i think it will be pretty cool besides i heard he did like being famous, i mean i know he had that whole i dont give a shit attitude, but i heard he would call his manager or whatever and complain when his videos werent beong played on mtv, i read it in that book heavier than heaven which is pretty good so it shouldnt be a bad film if its based on that..but yeah man ill definately check this out

if its good, im extremely trilled

[zapatista89]

i'm sure kurt would love to see how much money is being made of him after his death.

becasue he didnt shoot himself because his music was a vehicle of corporate gain.

Sarcasm is nice

[Richey]

love being executive producer, lmao. and again some people state that he commited suicide. poor ug.

[Sos-viper]

I love kurt cobain as much as any nirvana fan would
but dont you think we have already seen enough of this mans rise fall and suicide. i will go to watch the movie, it maybe outstanding or it could be just reminding me what i already know about kurt.

That's bullshit. How did Courtney help out Kurt? By shooting heroin with him? I know people say that Kurt tried heroin before he met courtney but i bet that Dave and Krist tried it too and they didn't get hooked. I bet Courtney encouraged Kurt to do it all the time and it was hard for him to quit when there was always heroin around thanks to her. And whether his death was a suicide or murder, we all know that Courtney and the drugs were the main factors contributing to his death.

i disagree, I'd say the person who knew Kurt the most was Krist Novoselic. He knew him well before Courtney. He should be the executive producer because he wouldn't be doing it for the drug money and fame. And I know he believes that Kurt commited suicicde but if he did the movie he would just put out all the known facts on the table and he wouldn't alter the movie just to make himself look better. Heck even Dylan Carlson, the guy who bought Kurt the shotgun would be a better executive producer then Courtney.

[scarfacesuit]

The guy really does look a lot like Cobain. All he needs is long, greasy, dirty blonde hair, some ripped jeans and a flannel shirt and he's got the look down.

[SoundofSeattle]

"The film will be based on Charles Cross's acclaimed book, Heavier Than Heaven, which was based on hundreds of interviews with the dead rock legend, his friends, and his family."... hundreds of interviews with the dead rock legend? I would imagine it must have been a bit one sided...

[Pontius2000]

I wonder if this movie will have the part where that bitch has Cobain murdered?

[Whats the story]

lol as if he is doing it. He don't look shit like Cobain

[OffspringPhreak]

I'm wondering if we really do need a Nirvana movie.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Nirvana fan; but it just doesn't seem right to me. I might see it though if it looks interesting. I heard that Last Days sucked, but I have yet to see that one.

[Smoothrider_41]

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1725848/

I think that this guy should paly kurt.

He has a killer voice, adn looks just like him.

[syd-young]

well it seems nowadays that almost every dead rockstar is getting a movie made after them nowadays

[RGsteve570]

Cobain with an accent eh?

[denabob]

I still don't understand how people can idolize a guy like Cobain who blew his own brains out. He was a decent songwriter at best and not much of a human being at all. There are so many people more deserving of a tribute like this. Just further proof that Courtney Love is a lollapaloser.

i don't think it was suicide. but, if it was, it doesn't make him a loser human, it makes him a human with problems he couldn't handle.

[ElThomas]

kurt was murdered. if they show him killing himself in this movie im gonna beat someone down. theres just as much, if not more, evidence saying he was murdered. he has to die. but they cant show a suicide. or a murder i guess. cuz its still debatable

Until there is full proof that Kurt was actually murdered, it is considered suicide.

[Kurt Morgan]

oh man i was actually looking forward to this before i found out love was behind it.... and also i believe he committed suicide... he had bipolar disorder, hated life and his fame he even wrote a suicide note

The man wanted to die, its was inevitable.

He probably wouldn't like that the writer of this article referred to him as a rock star.

NOOOOO Don't make this damn movie. I love Kurt Cobain and Nirvana, but i hate these movies. Do you really think Kurt would have wanted this to happen ? Let kids find out about him by themselves and discover his music in their own way. Don't make it into another cliche movie to make money.

Come on now. I mean Nirvana is prolly my favorite band n all but why does it really matter how he died. I really dont see the big deal. People make more of a deal over his death these days than his music. Just let it go and listen to the music.

i agree with you. I use to care alot about how Kurt died when I first got into nirvana by looking at all the facts about his death and all, but now I could really care less because no matter how he died it isn't going to change his music at all. And the first thing about being a true fan of any band is you must like their music first and not be into them just for all the bullshit drama going on outside of the music.

[F-ing Hostile]

I hope this movie doesn't glorify courtney love, It probly will though unfortuneatly

[Mzyz]

should have been joe anderson (he's the guy who played Max in Across the Universe, if anyone saw it)

[E_squared]

Has anyone here read the liner notes on "Incesticide"?

In them, Cobain clearly states his thoughts on Courtney Love, and concludes by saying, "A big f*** you to the people who think I'm naive and stupid enough to let myself be taken advantage of and manipulated."
You see? Courtney didn't take advantage of Kurt to get rich, and Kurt realized that. He was a much smarter man than you give him credit for.

Dude Kurt cobain isn't my fave guitarist or even close to a revolutionary to me at all. But dude up there is right. How the **** u supposed to pull a shotgun trigger with that much heroin in ur system. U don't. Thats exactly the point. I know it won't bring him back. But seriously suicide? Fuck Courtney Love...just trying to get more money. Why don't u ask Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic about Kurt?

Another question i must pose thought....is would his music brought on a "revolution" if he wouldn't have died? I mean really bush and Weezer was still there Nirvana or not.

bad as in terrible

Ok let's end all the conspiracies. If nobody owns up, i'll say i did it. Fuck.
Seriously, there is no point in all of this "Courtney Love did it" "It was suicide" "Corporate America did" "Krist and Dave dared him while they were all high".
A man is dead, a man who influenced a generation but he was also a man who had a drug problem, who was mentally unstable and in this his death shouldn't really come as a suprise.
Cobain is a hero of mine. Let him rest in peace.

I won't be seeing this movie.

[Reft Soul]

Oh shit... Courtney Love to executive-produce? Uh-oh...

That's a bit of a problem... You never know... might be some stupid hilarity added to it...

[CoreyStavely]

I think Courntey is just trying to squeeze as much money out of this whole thing as she can...
