Twlight Actor To Play Kurt Cobain.

[Aerodynamic]

For fucks sake.
"Twilight actor Robert Pattinson is set to play Kurt Cobain in a film about the late Nirvana frontman, it's been reported.

Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, who is an executive producer on the project, has apparently made the actor the "number one choice" to play her former husband.

Love is also understood to be targeting actress Scarlett Johansson to play her in the movie, tentatively titled All Apologies."

what are your thoughts on this?


Personally I am not mad at Robter Pattinson, I am mad at Courtney Love for being such a fucking idiot.

EDIT: Crap, the one time I think its safe not to use the search bar.

EDI: http://spin.com/articles/robert-pattinson-not-confirmed-play-kurt-cobain According to this it has been refuted.

What? I can't immagine a better person do die from an overdose!
He'll bring a little sparkle to Cobain's sad life!
Uh, I've got another one:
At least it's one who already knows how to handle shallow-minded admirers!

I think that's it for now. Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week.

Kurt is probably rolling over in his grave right now.

Um...there was a thread about this, in which we saw that this is actually very false. Love's attorney actually sounded angry.

Kurt is probably rolling over in his grave right now.

Ummm... sure he is.

If it's a good movie fine fair enough. I will try to watch it unbias.

Already refuted. http://spin.com/articles/robert-pattinson-not-confirmed-play-kurt-cobain
Also, never really care when I heard the rumor. I don't hold Cobain on some ridiculously high pedestal and I have not seen a lot of Pattinson's acting to care about what he is doing.

i hate Robert Pattinson so damn much, he doesn't even deserve to work as a McDonald's cashier. Kurt Cobain is awesome, but he should have a movie dedicated to him starring Hollywood giants. in a way is de-glorifies him. Twilight pretty boy f*** to play Grunge bad ass makes it sooooo much worse it is unimaginable

its like making a cheery Broadway musical out of a WWII veteran

 

[Chicago Ted]

Took me a while with Paint, but images speak louder then words.

I've said this before: They just picked someone intensely unappealing to play someone who was just as intensely unappealing. It makes perfect sense. Frankly I think the guy's hair is too good to play cobain.

As someone pointed out, this was just a rumour - let's all hope it stays that way.

 

[xXAsherahXx]

I'm very glad it won't be realized anytime soon

 

[CZS PublicEnemy]

Courtney Love is not dead yet?

 

[The Austin]

Kurt is probably rolling over in his grave right now.

Ummm... sure he is.

.....OK...

Thanks for that totally pointless quotation of me......

Soooo.... Yea.

I stand by my previous statements.

 

[Citrus]

I don't like Kurt Cobain, Nirvana, or Robert Pattinson. So I guess I'll just move on with my day.

 

[Jonesy911]

Don't be suprised if you turn on the news one day and see me murdering the entire cast and crew of that film. THIS IS THE LAST THING KURT COBAIN WOULD HAVE WANTED! If Courtney Love had any respect for the man she would not make a movie about him, but no, she is a stupid ***** who wants to make money and whore out her dead husbands image for her own personal gain. Grrrrr.

Hopefully this is just a rumor

Producers: "This'll definitely appeal to those hardcore, grungy, rock n' roll fans, so we should get someone badass to play him... What do you think, Mrs. Love?"

Courtney: "HURP DURP ROBERT PATTINSON THAT'LL MAKE EVERYONE WANNA SEE IT"

Producers: "He's generally not that popular among that crowd... Mrs. Love, I really think we should get someone else."

Courtney: "HERE'S SOME MONEY"

Producers: "Johnson, get Pattinson's agent on the phone. NOW."

He was cremated but I see your point. I can't speak for him but I know I wouldn't want this to happen.

You think Robert playing Kurt is bad? One of the cast from Twilight is playing Metal's most notorious musician Varg Vikernes in a film, worst thing is, is that it's actually been confirmed!
