Cast the Kurt Cobain Biopic

1/12/07, 12:39 pm EST

Kurt and CourtneyThis isn’t the first we’ve heard of a possibly forthcoming major studio take on Kurt Cobain’s life story. Last month Courtney Love started discussing details she was supposedly not supposed to be revealing about her purchase of the rights to Charles Cross’ biography Heavier Than Heaven. Now Access Hollywood is reporting that based in part on these (and other) comments by Love, plus a super-secret inside source, the biopic defninitely, might, perhaps, actually get made….someday. We’ll believe it when we see it, but in the meantime we’d like you to help cast it.

With the caveat that we firmly believe actors can’t play rockstars because if they could they would just BE rockstars, we’d pick Renee Zellweger as Courtney; she has the rock in her blood as she dated Jack White and starred in Empire Records. Kurt is harder. That Michael Pitt guy was already taken. River Phoenix is no longer with us…don’t tell us Jared Leto is our only option?

Who would you cast in the Kurt Cobain made-for-the-big-screen movie?

Kurt - Joe Anderson
On a side note Dave Grohl should just play himself haha.

Sonia | 5/30/2009, 8:23 am EST

Joe Anderson as Kurt Cobain . He totally looks like him and in Across the Universe, he’s a good actor and singer.

mr. pissy | 5/21/2009, 7:07 pm EST

joe anderson as K.C - definitely

mr. pissy | 5/21/2009, 6:58 pm EST

I think Joe Anderson it’s identic…

BlueOrchidMoon | 4/22/2009, 1:39 am EST

Joe Anderson, Joe Anderson, Joe Anderson!!! And he should sing the songs because he is amazing and he LOOKS like him. Anyone who doubts this, go on Youtube and watch the song Happiness Is A Warm Gun from the movie Across The Universe.

devin | 3/16/2009, 1:25 am EST

i wasn’t really old enough (or off my mom’s tit long enough) to realize what and who Kurt Cobain really was.
But now i’m 16 and deeply in love with this dead man.
Yeah, people can preach and say leave him alone, yaddah yaddah yaddah.
But you and I both know that no matter what we say, the media is going to do as they please?
Anyway, if, and i do mean IF, this movie gets made, JOE ANDERSON should be Kurt.
He has the tortured, hott, gifted artist look and sound.
I just watched Across the Universe for the first time and thought to myself “he looks like Kurt!”
So I paused this GREAT movie and looked up Joe Anderson and in the suggestion box it just so happen to say “joe anderson kurt cobain.”
Weird, eh?
So I found this article.
And here I am.
This needs to happen.
I’d like to know exactly how the life of my hero went down in more ways than one.
Could this be like the next JFK conspiracy?
I guess we’ll find out.

Ugh! | 2/20/2009, 4:38 am EST

Oh, are they going to have an actor for El Duce in this movie? They really should, especially for the part when Courtney makes a visit to see El Duce and offers him fifty grand to kill Kurt making it look like a suicide. Not to mention El Duce took two polygraph test about this situation, in which both test he passed….So what do you think about that? Leave Kurt alone and for once let this man rest in PEACE! no actor could ever be as good as Kurt, as for Courtney on the other hand I have a few choice words, but I will keep them to myself.
Visit cobaincase.com!

Disater Movie? | 2/20/2009, 4:24 am EST

If this movie is going to be based on the “Heavier Than Heaven” book, it will be a total loss. Has anyone read the book “Love& Death?” I would suggest those of you who think Kurt killed himself to do some researching. Just the thought of Courtney having anything to do with this movie turns my stomach! Every one knows that Courtney is going to make herself look like such a PATSY in this movie.
Anyway, definitely Joe Anderson as Kurt, and Arianne Zucker (Nicole on days of our lives) would make a perfect Courtney Love. Zucker’s role on “Days of our Lives” remind me of Courtney so much.

sylvia | 2/16/2009, 4:44 am EST

Brittany Murphy kinda has this drugged up, crazy look to her

2 years past since this Kurt Cobain biopic project’s been announced, is it really gonna happen? Maybe TPTB realize having Love on the project ain’t such good idea?

K76WN | 1/15/2009, 12:45 pm EST

Joe Anderson should play Kurt. Hands- Down that is THE pick. and everyone agrees, if his voice was a litle raspier he would be the perfect Kurt Cobain fit!

Maddie | 1/13/2009, 12:29 am EST

Saw that Cobain biography too. I knew it was Kurt, but I’m pretty shocked how much the photos reminded me of Joe Anderson.

Maybe Sienna Miller. She probably doesn’t look like Courtney, but other than that, she’s quite Courtney like, same lifestyle at least.

helga | 1/11/2009, 6:39 pm EST

Joe Anderson, of course! Saw Kurt Cobain biography at bookstore and thought “oh cool, that guy from Across the Universe.” Realized my mistake and haven’t stopped mentioning to friends how Joe has to play Kurt Cobain!

Yeah, and Renee Zellweger does look like Courtney Love. They could dub her voice . . . if that’s an issue.

Ashley | 12/27/2008, 12:36 am EST

Brad Pitt is the dumbest idea of them all.
Not only does he not sing and not look anything like Cobain..
Hes almost 50 years old.

Kurt died when he was 27.
Thats the worst comparison.

aaron | 12/26/2008, 5:53 pm EST

cant believe ive gone thru all of these and noone mentioned this:

Kurt: BRAD PITT HELLO!!
courtney: michelle peifer or whoever the girl is that played alongside eminem in 8 mile
dave grohl:james franco

Daniel Ballarin | 12/14/2008, 11:38 pm EST

Joe Anderson is the man for this, not only he played and sang in Across the Universe, actually looking just like Cobain, but he has already stared as a Rock musician in Control, where he plays
Peter Hook from Joy Division. His raspy voice also brings a remanicence of Cobain.

JOE ANDERSON…
Watch him in Across The Universe
or
Copying Beethoven
HE IS MEANT TO PLAY THIS PART!!!!!!

He-Man | 10/25/2008, 11:55 pm EST

There is an up and comer named Sean Goodman. He would be perfect for the role. He can sing and when he has long hair he looks like Kurt.

Ashley | 10/7/2008, 9:42 pm EST

Ewan Mcgregor..hell no.
Hes way too old.

Kurt Cobain: Joe Anderson (Max from Across the Universe)..hes already proved he can sing, he looks just like Cobain.
Courtney Love: Brittany Murphy
Dave Grohl: James Franco (say what you want, look at him in Pineapple Express and say my idea is stupid)
Krist Noveselic: Jon Heder

And for all you guys freaking out saying its a disgrace a movie is being made because Kurt wouldnt want it.

A) you dont know Kurt personally, most likely he wouldnt, but stop trying to talk for him
B) shut up in general bcuz the movie is being made, its not gonna be canceled because youre a little crybaby bitch.

Joe Anderson | 9/11/2008, 11:53 pm EST

No doubt about it!
Joe Anderson looks almost exactly like Curt Cobain!
Its truely scary!
Do me a favor and look up Joe anderson on Youtube!
You’ll see the look almost the same!
Its crazy to think anyone else to play Curt!

I dont know about Krist and Dave though!

KC | 8/21/2008, 1:00 am EST

Joe Anderson. 100 percent.

Stephen J Heffernan | 8/3/2008, 6:18 pm EST

The best choice for an actor to play Cobain is probably the one anyone would last think of. Chad Michael Murray from One Tree Hill is tailor-made for this role! He is extremely talented and this would be the perfect vehicle for him to break out of the troubled-pretty-boy-with- a-hea rt-of-gold stigma that he’s been stuck with on The WB (or whatever it’s called now). Also, all he would have to do physically is grow his hair and not shave.

mabel | 8/1/2008, 12:52 am EST

joe anderson!!!

natalie | 7/8/2008, 12:31 am EST

from the first time i saw joe andersen in across the universe i thought he looked exactly like kurt cobain. i was in shock.. he is obviously very musically inclined and i think he would be the best choice to play kurt cobain.

Jenn. | 6/10/2008, 11:40 pm EST

Yeah, so everyone has said this.
But.
Joe Anderson.

Seriously, the first time I saw a picture of Joe, I thought it was Kurt.

Get on that.
Please.
Nirvana fans will love you forever.

he is like perfect, the only difference these two have is the chin and the nose and besides that they are soooo alike, and they have similar voices and aldf;gnajfdgn i will like have a heart attack and die if anyone else is cast it wouldnt make sense and i couldnt watch the movie Joe Anderson looks like he could be his brother or almost identical twin

Jay | 4/19/2008, 4:22 pm EST

Joe Anderson. Do me a favor and watch Across the Universe and you will know why so many are calling for him to play Kurt Cobain.

thesandman | 4/11/2008, 11:22 am EST

JOE ANDERSON! Why is there even a debate? In Across the Universe, he can clearly sing, and he looks so freakishly like Kurt! I have even mistaken one for the other. Ewan McGregor looks a lot like him too, (see Velvet Goldmine), but he might be getting a bit too old. I love them both but I pick JOE!!!

pLp | 3/24/2008, 12:19 am EST

dont you people see it?!?!?

JOE ANDERSON!!!!

across the universe shows how talented he is - as an actor and as a singer.

ryan gosling??
johnny depp??
ewan mcgregor??

you cant just choose big stars to play the role. personally, it would ruin the image for me with someone too famous.

cassy | 3/16/2008, 4:44 pm EST

I dont know if this is up for debate anymore, but for crying out loud….Joe Anderson from Across the Universe by all means should play Kurt Cobain. He has the blonde hair, the beautiful blue eyes, and kind of a haunting expression. His voice even sounds like him.

http://www.youtube.co m/wat ch?v=5EDm3vkfRzo&feature=relat ed

If you have any doubts, go to that link at look at 3:33. He looks so much like him it is incredibly scary.

As for Courtney Love, Brittany Murphy for sure. After seeing her character in 8 Mile, I’m pretty sure she’d play a great junkie. Ahem. I hope this movie gets made, though I hate the idea of Courtney Love getting more cash out of Kurt’s death. Though Heavier than Heaven is an excellent biography of such a confused soul.

spNercaspanova | 3/9/2008, 4:17 pm EST

emile hirsch in lords of dogtown reminded me alot of Kurt Cobain and Joe Anderson looks freakishly like Kurt so either would be good. Courtney doesnt really matter maybe Brittany Murphy or hey how about…Courtney Love. And Dave Grohl could shave and play Dave Grohl.

maddie | 2/26/2008, 9:05 am EST

Joe Anderson is perfect for the part.

PS69 | 2/17/2008, 8:57 pm EST

Joe Anderson. He’s the only one for the job.

Billy | 2/12/2008, 9:36 pm EST

No one. In fact I think there should be a site and story that addresses a petition to Courtney making any further profits off her murdered husband that she helped put into that grave.

Johnny8 | 10/8/2007, 9:27 am EST

I Agree, this SHOULD be an art film, but odds are it won’t be. I’d go and see the movie anyways just to see how much stuff they lie about. This film definately needs to focus more away from Kurt & Courtney and more on Kurt. But with Courtney Love at the helm Kurt will probably be made out to be a piece of sh*t. But here’s who I think should play the parts…
1. Kurt Cobain– `Edward Furlong.`
He’s the right age, has the right type of body and imagine him with long bleached long hair and a five O’clock shadow.
2. Dave Grohl– `Scott Patrick Green.` Scott is an actor who played a part in Gus van saunts Last Days. He played one of blakes rocker friends and has the right look and attitude for the part.
3. Courtney Love– ‘Brittney Murphy.` I am convinced that she would be the absolute PERFECT person for this part, esspecially after seeing her in 8 mile.
4. Krist Novaselic– `Ashton Kutcher.` If you think about it, Ashton could really pull off the krist novoselic role rather well. I believe he would be great for this part and this would further highlight his talents as an actor.
This film has the potential to be a really great film but it’s all up to whoevers making it. The filmakers should have people from various grunge bands like the melvins as consultants to ensure that the film keeps its genuine devotion. And I believe the ending should be open to question because there is alot of controversy surrounding Kurt Cobains death. To read about it Go to:www.justiceforkurt.com

DavidBlack | 9/27/2007, 2:51 pm EST

First of all, this should be an art film, not another public raping, by courtney or whoever she sold the rights to, to try and scrounge every dollar they can off of the Kurt cobain name. Someone like Oliver Stone would be the perfect Director for a project like this. This film should be like “The Doors” meets “Sid & Nancy”
1. Kurt Cobain– Ewan McGregor, Johnny Depp, or Edward Furlong.
2. Courtney Love– Charlize Theron
3. Dave Grohl– Jason Lee

Micheal Pitt for Kurt Cobain | 9/17/2007, 1:30 pm EST

Micheal Pitt should definitely play Kurt. Even though in Last days he kind of made cobain look like an incoherent piece of shit who couldnt form a decent thought in his head, I really do believe that all pitt needed was a little direction from a better director and a better writing crew, seeing as how there was possibly a total of 112 words in the entire film. My vote goes to MICHEAL PITT for Cobain. he looks almost EXACTLY LIKE HIM. In the eyes, the body structure, and he really just made Cobain come back to life when i saw him in Last Days. The film sucked, but i really gotta give it up for Pitt. He kicks fuckin ass.

pennyroyal | 8/29/2007, 11:10 pm EST

Joe Anderson. I watched the Across the Universe trailer, and in certain parts, he really looks like Kurt. Also in the film “Silence Becomes You”, he evokes Kurt.

Joe Anderson | 7/15/2007, 10:29 pm EST

Joe Anderson. He’s the only one for the job. He’s in the upcoming film, Across the Universe. He’s a little tall, but still.

alphazel | 5/10/2007, 3:31 pm EST

well if you compare Emile Hirsch to Kurt they will look alike!I mean look at him in the lords of dogtown same eyes,hair,height,ect.Don’t fuck this movie up by putting Leonardoe Dicaprio or some pussy actor as Kurt!!!Plus Emile Hirsch is HOT!!!

Courtney- Drew Barrymore

Tom | 4/16/2007, 11:13 pm EST

last days is a terrible representation of kurt cobain, whether you think he was an overrated coward or not. i think its ignorant to post such messages, especially when youre not a fan and have never been briefed on the possibility his death was a homicide. ewan mcgregor or leonardo dicaprio have my vote. if this movie is made it should be based on TRUTH and not MYTH, which sadly will probably never happen. Cobains cause of death should be changed from suicide to UNDETERMINED. cobaincase.com

Anonymous | 3/16/2007, 4:59 pm EST

Kurt’s legacy lives on in his music. I think that’s the most important thing. Do you think that he would have wanted this movie? Emile does look like him in Lords of Dogtown. If this film is made i hope it’s done tastefully and well.

Anonymous | 3/16/2007, 4:54 pm EST

blanonymous | 1/17/2007, 10:07 am EST

i cant believe courtney’s actually going through with all this. it’s almost as if she’s accepted the fact that she has no talent, and is just selling kurt out big time. i find it really odd that the woman who lied in her documentary about the jacket kurt killed himself in (he wasnt wearing a jacket) is overseeing a movie about him. i guess we can expect krist and dave to be portrayed as talentless idiots, and for the girl playing courtney to be hot and reeeally smart with a band better than nirvana……maybe the courtney character will even write kurt’s songs for him….

songsinthekeyofjawn | 1/16/2007, 5:25 pm EST

i do think DiCaprio would do justice to kurt cobain, however i believe there is some emotionally detached unknown actor who is just a total fuckin nut case who would be the best choice. but if nothing turns up DiCaprio.

as far as courtney (that whore) is concerned i would think that charlize theron would be perfect. her performances in “north country” and “monster” definitely seal the deal with me. she has played some heinous female leads and nailed them and let’s face it what bitch is more heinous that courtney love.

as far as the rest of the band i’m really not sure who to pick for dave and chris. they can’t play themselves that’s for sure. i think dave and chris should be instrumental in this as far as casting for the roles of who plays dave and chris. oh and last and most importantly i feel if this film is made that all actors who play musicians should just like in “Walk the Line” learn the basics of all their instruments so that it actually looks like they are playing or playing for real.

Kurt Cobain should be played by
-Johnny Depp (is the Top Choice & whoever says he doesnt look like Cobain should watch Secret Window or Blow, he especially looks like him from the side)
-Peter Sarsgaard
-Billy Crudup
all would be fine choices

Courtney Love should be played by
-Brittany Murphy
-Scarlett Johansson
-Cate Blanchett
-Christina Ricci
-Tara Reid (she’s a retard but she might not have to do much acting)

Who would direct? Who would play the other famous musicians like: Dave Grohl, Krist Noveselic, Ed Vedder, Axl Rose, the Melvins, Mark Arm, etc?

cej | 1/14/2007, 2:24 pm EST

Dominic Monaghan, the little scottish lost kid. Or the little scottish hobbit from Lord of the Rings. Or Johnny Depp, cause he’s just great in everything.

I like Johnny Depp (might be too old), Peter Skarsgaard, Ryan Gosling, Jared Leto.

how bout this: they make a movie about Nirvana with Kurt not commiting suicide and still being alive today. It should show that if he didnt commit suicide, they wouldn’t be nearly as legendary and they are today. They started a new era in music but nonetheless, are overated.

emile hersh? however you spell his name. He would play an amazing kurt cobain. Of coarse on this site I see a bunch of music snobs who obviousley think they’re better than Kurt. well, I have a little homework assignment, write a bunch of songs, then record them, then play live and then start a revolution overnight, not even your precious pearl jam has done that you losers.

Kash | 1/14/2007, 10:54 am EST

Holy shit, Ewan McGregor looked just like Kurt in Velvet Goldmine (Kurt Wild), and he’s played a junkie….no brainer.

Kash | 1/14/2007, 10:52 am EST

Peter Sarsgaard as Kurt
Brittany Murphy as Courtney

amberlynne | 1/14/2007, 5:28 am EST

i like britney murphy and jared leto
but a great courtney love other then love would be molly shannon (ithink that was her name) from snl she was really good as courtney love in all those snl skits!

This movie shouldnt be made. Wasnt publishing his personal journals enough?

Big D | 1/14/2007, 12:22 am EST

I would say Courtney Love as Courtney Love, but Courtney Love doesn’t look much like Courtney Love anymore!

Paul | 1/13/2007, 11:58 pm EST

Ben Foster (Punisher, Xmen 3) as Kurt.
Patrick Fugit (Almost Famous, Saved) as either Kurt or Dave.
James Van Der Beek as Krist.

TonyClifton | 1/13/2007, 9:22 pm EST

You gotta be kiddin me. I could kill in this role. I accept. Call the Academy, and tell ‘em TC is coming and they better have my statue ready, or it won’t be pretty, I’m tellin ya.

Is Mae West still alive?

Amanda | 1/13/2007, 9:05 pm EST

Jason Lee as Dave Grohl
(he may not look much like Dave 10 years ago but they look just alike now)

GC | 1/13/2007, 7:10 pm EST

i think Greg Kinnear (like 10 years ago) would be great. he has the eyes. but i would really like to see Kurt’s sister to play him. as for courtney,i can’t think of a chubby actress…but really. Kurt’s songs and his voice really tell us enough about his tragic, tortured, short life. i think it’s sick that people can get so fasinated with someone’s life. and disrespectful to his family(NOT courtney she’s only using his music and memory to make money)

brandon | 1/13/2007, 6:53 pm EST

the only good idea ive read is having larry clark direct it

Trevor- Nirvana Man | 1/13/2007, 6:07 pm EST

dude no one can fuckin play kurt

Diva | 1/13/2007, 5:01 pm EST

Before I could adequately cast the movie, I’d really need to know which characters the script would include. However, since I don’t, this is how I would cast at least three of the roles:

Kurt Cobain: Either Michael Pitt or Jonathan Rhys-Meyers
Courtney Love: Either Ludivine Sagnier or Clea DuVall
Linda Carroll–Courtney Love

Paris | 1/13/2007, 4:31 pm EST

Scarlett Johannsen or Drew Barrymore as Courtney
Ewan McGregor, Leo DiCaprio, or Johnny Depp as Kurt

Anonymous | 1/13/2007, 3:02 pm EST

drew barrymore = courtney love

Chris | 1/13/2007, 2:57 pm EST

Ryan Gosling is an inspired choice, and Brittany Murphy would be great… Even in her normal roles she seems insane

King Wack | 1/13/2007, 1:58 pm EST

What the fuck? Wasn’t the first movie about Kurt’s life enough? Last Days was a great film, even if the main character was only an image of Kurt- it still got the point across. He was a super sensetive muscian, with a bad drug problem, a family and band to support, and he knew he was becoming a cliche.

Now, with this new movie (and as one write up already has stated), they will make all included in the short and brilliant life of Nirvana and Kurt into angels. Lets look at it…

1)He was a junkie. He and Love shot up with a kid on the way. they shot up after the kid was born. Ideal parents, I say not!

2)He was, by most accounts, an asshole to people. Only the ones close to him liked him.

3)Courtney can keep her hands off Kurt’s estate. She needs more money for a new face job. Just scrap the current look completey. Then hit the junk again.

Kurt must be rolling in his grave. One of the few that gave the fuck you to America Corp. Now, because of his cowardly act of suicide, he is not around to make sure no movie would be made of his life.

Besides, if your going to make movies about people who where against the money and the biz- lets do one on Syd Barrett. Fuck Cobain (even though I love ya)- he has gotten enough press over the past 14 years. For a career that only spanned 3 years. Nirvana was not the begin and end all. They were, after all, just a loud kick ass band.

mike jewell | 1/13/2007, 12:59 pm EST

try mike jewell, from ‘the outside world’… he sounds just like kurt when they cover ’smells like teen spirit’

ewan mc gregor as kurt (just watch velvet goldmine)
Courtney as Courtney

Erika | 1/13/2007, 8:59 am EST

I really don’t think that this movie should be made but if it is then I would have to go with Emile Hirsch as Kurt (look at his performance in Lords Of Dogtown) and any random tranny hooker as Courtney.

Ryan Gosling | 1/13/2007, 7:54 am EST

Ryan Gosling

david | 1/13/2007, 3:48 am EST

tony clifton as kurt cobain. john lovits as krist novoselic. steve buscemi as dave grohl

Cole M. | 1/13/2007, 12:52 am EST

Ryan Gosling all the way.

Sure, he was a sappy fuck in “The Notebook” but he showed his range as a crack addicted teacher in last year’s “Half Nelson.”

I totally think he could be true to Kurt’s vision.

Tim | 1/12/2007, 11:52 pm EST

Courtney keeps her professional widow cash register ringing, ka-ching!,ka-ching!. If this movie ever gets made she`ll probably be portrayed as some suffering angel who only wanted the best for Kurt.

Rick | 1/12/2007, 10:14 pm EST

Fred Durst as Kurt Cobain

Sinead O Connor as Courtney Love

Axl Rose as Axl Rose

jmetptn | 1/12/2007, 9:35 pm EST

I’m likin’ jack white as kurt. or flea too, because flea’s so small…but there’s this dude on All My Children who is playing a transgender before surgery - (he was in that boy george play a while back….he’s perfect! think about it…courtney is amazon tall, walks like a man…prolly had more equipment than kurt…so why dont we get a drag queen? and no offense to Courtney, but he’s really talented :) ))

a true cobain fan | 1/12/2007, 9:12 pm EST

heavier and heaven is a crap book filled with lies hey charles and courtney how bout the truth assholes like kurt was going to divorce your skank ass so you had him killed cause a divorce would mean no money courtney and thats all you care about you skank screw you hey cross how do you know the last details of his life? no cred what so ever remember the piece of paper found in love’s bag with the diferent handwriting? sounds fishy if you had nothing to hide reopen the damm case that the truth out but it won’t happen the truth doesn’t pay courtney’s bills kurts cobains legacy does that

Kurt | 1/12/2007, 9:07 pm EST

I don’t care who plays them, but they better include a scene depicting the MTV movie awards when Kurt slowdanced with Eddie Vedder backstage during Clapton’s Tears in Heaven.

cheesecrop | 1/12/2007, 7:52 pm EST

It would be interesting if it was done right, but Hollywood would give it too much of the standard issue glamour treatment. I can’t ever recalling any rock movie made after the fact that accurately caught the time it was supposed to be depicting. In a way I guess I hope it doesn’t get made. Let anyone who wants to know about the band find out their own way.

CGEffect | 1/12/2007, 7:49 pm EST

Something tells me this movie will have lawsuits written all over it if it doesn’t have Courtney’s stamp of approval. Who knows, they’ll have her play herself.

Kurt- Michael Pitt
Courtney- Chole Sevigny or some unknown
Dave- Cillian Murphy
Krist- There’s not a man in HOllywood to match his height! Just some unknown.

zach | 1/12/2007, 7:10 pm EST

Whoever said depp is way off base - Jared Leto would make a great Cobain plus that was sort of his time as well.

I don’t know who could be Courtney Love, maybe if you put a wig on a dude like Jack Black you could come up with something close

ann | 1/12/2007, 7:09 pm EST

Kurt — Michael Pitt
courtney — I like the idea of Britney Murphy or Charlize Theron (though an unknown might lessen the distraction…)

Robbie K | 1/12/2007, 7:02 pm EST

jesus, that would be awful.

i dont know, but i whant adam Brody to play Woody allen in his biopic… hahahaha

Naaah for Kurt, weird but…
Brad pitt

Wade | 1/12/2007, 6:22 pm EST

Depp would be perfect for Cobain

wrecksracer | 1/12/2007, 6:21 pm EST

musicians who shoot themselves because they can’t handle being rich don’t deserve to have a movie made of their life

Joe | 1/12/2007, 6:12 pm EST

If there is a movie made it should be considered a murder mystery. The film makers should cast Courtney as her self that way she can cash in some more on Nirvana’s music. I wonder what Dave and Kris think about this??

BushhasdestroyedtheU.S. | 1/12/2007, 6:06 pm EST

I also considered DiCaprio as Cobain, which is odd. I didn’t notice their physical similarities previously. He is muscular, though. Kurt was emaciated.

I would also green light Dominic Monaghan. In contrast to his fellow LoTR cast mate, he would probably play Cobain better than Elijah Wood will play Iggy Pop.

I would cast Lindsey Lohan or Brittany Murphy as Love. Lohan’s acting abilities are dubious. I would tell her to play herself.

tice | 1/12/2007, 6:00 pm EST

Justin Timberlake as Kurt (compare them in photos…)
Chloe Sevigny as Courtney (think Boys Don’t Cry)

steve | 1/12/2007, 5:35 pm EST

wow…zellweger, johansen, brittany murphy? are u fucking kidding me? we might as well book jessica alba to play pink in her “forthcoming” biopic. my vote is for kirstie alley…at least the audience would view courtney love with the proper nausea. johnny depp would play a good kurt cobain…but i guess that would only be true if you think this movie, which im sure makes kurt wanna shoot a boiling spoon of heroin into his vein from the grave, a good idea.

Other Dan | 1/12/2007, 5:33 pm EST

Dave Grohl as Kurt Cobain

the harry potter kid as courtney kenny rogers as kurt cobain mc hammer as dave ghroll cory feldman as krist noveselic tony soprano as kurts dad 50 cent as kurts drug dealer director would be seymore butts soundtrack available on disney records produce by simon cowell and shooting starts in sweedan in 2099 courtney give it a rest leave him alone let him rest in piece get some talent and live off that instead of living off kurts talent you killer of a whore and i do mean KILLER

todd | 1/12/2007, 5:17 pm EST

You shouldn’t even touch this story,i didn’t want to leave a response but whatever, Crudrupp or Depp for Kurt, Kate or Cate (however the hell you spell it) Blanchett for Courtney, by far the most diverse actress i’ve seen in awhile. She’s playing Dylan for shit sake.
I’ve gone to far, i apologize.
Cheers

Jesus | 1/12/2007, 5:01 pm EST

Hollywood should wait until there is the music scene that is putting stuff that isn’t complete (c)rap. Nirvana is anything but overrated. They put out good, solid albums (not just singles as most “artists” are now).

Neville Nicol | 1/12/2007, 4:57 pm EST

How about Jared Leto as Kurt Cobain and I agree Brittany Murphy as Courtney.

midevil | 1/12/2007, 4:50 pm EST

Juliet Lewis and Heath Ledger.

Carlos Dominguez | 1/12/2007, 4:31 pm EST

Leonardo DiCarpio as Kurt Cobain without a doubt! He is the only one who make it believable. As for Courtney…..Scarlett Johanson is a maybe.

abandonedstation | 1/12/2007, 4:28 pm EST

courtney love as courtney love.

why kid ourselves? she’s perfect for it.

as for kurt… well, my ex-roommate kind of looks like him. wait, how old is hayley joel osment (sixth sense kid)?

Audrey | 1/12/2007, 4:27 pm EST

I agree with Britney Murphay as Courtney Love and thats only because I do not like either of them very much. No one could play Kurt good enough,that is because no one is good enough to play Kurt.Courtney on the other hand and hoe off the street could play her, but Kurt was deeper than just drugs,sex,and music.

... | 1/12/2007, 4:22 pm EST

…no. movie=not good idea. it seriously does not sound good, and you know courtney love will get money and ect.

.. and yeah, courtney basically wrote the book while Cross typed it. his “creative view” on Kurts last hours are total bs.

Chuck | 1/12/2007, 4:16 pm EST

I haven’t fully read everyone else’s picks…but I laughed pretty good at the comment “with the proper make up Eddie Murphay could do both.” That’s good stuff.

I think Britney Murphay would be a good courtney…Kurt is hard. Best one I’ve read so far is ryan gosling and even Leo Decaprio (think Basketball Diaries…perfect.) But, in actuallity, I think both roles should be no namers with talent. It would make the movie better without seeing some super star play a loser that’s dealing with not being a loser.

Paul M. | 1/12/2007, 4:15 pm EST

Larry Clark should direct it-photographically I think he could do it justice-no weird sex stuff tho…

Paul M. | 1/12/2007, 4:11 pm EST

Leo DiCaprio as Kurt- He has to loose weight but have you seen “The Departed”? He would murder this role.
Naomi Watts as Courtney- She is soooo talented and plays a sweet drug addict (21 Grams)

Ryan | 1/12/2007, 4:05 pm EST

Courtney=Rapping Granny

Jim | 1/12/2007, 3:49 pm EST

Britney Spears as Courtney Love

Arnold Scwarzenegger as Kurt Cobain, but only if he says asta La Vista, Baby before he shoots himself in the head… maybe there will be a misfire like in “The Crow”.

But seriously, Britney would make a good Courtney now, and Leto would be a good Cobain

Dave(NY) | 1/12/2007, 3:41 pm EST

Movie should never be made Kurt Cobain is the most overated person ever. Nirvana wasnt even that good.

SBG | 1/12/2007, 3:39 pm EST

I think with proper make-up, Eddie Murphy could play both.

after seeing the departed, i think LEONARDO DICAPRIO could pull it off as well as any. he has the same facial structure to a certain extent and can pull off the mood swings. most nirvana fans regard this choice as sacriledge i know, but who else is there if this truly has to be? i think know is a good time, b/c people have stopped talking about nirvana and popular music is even bored with itself now.

Emile Hirsch - Kurt (same height, features, wears longer hair very well,same eyes, refer to dogtown)
Renay, ummm NO, you need someone that is fuckin sideways to play Courtney, I’m thinking Lyonne would be a good choice, but is she tall enough?

HOLLYWOOOD DONT FUCK THIS UP, YOU ARE FUCKIN WITH MY TEENAGE ANGST AND MEMORIES!

Oliver Stone to direct

Brit Murphy for Courtney. On-screen she’s always a little nuts. Underrated & talanted little actress. Perfect to keep us on the edge of our seats.
I don’t know about Kirt. Perhaps a classically trained British actor.

tess | 1/12/2007, 2:37 pm EST

Yes, erik, of course you should play Courteney. Perfect! The studio will be calling you soon.

Caleb | 1/12/2007, 2:33 pm EST

yeah I like Ryan Gosling or Michael Pitt already played him for christ sakes and the courtney love should not be involved in anyway being the bitch she is

Dave Navarro as Courtney and Flea as Kurt

Rhea | 1/12/2007, 2:30 pm EST

Sure most actors aren’t rockers - but it has been known to happen! It’s an extension of the creativity!

Haven’t said that I would cast the following people!

Courtney - Brittany Murphy (Based on performances from 8-Mile, her appearances, and her role playing ability)
Kurt - Brad Pitt (Yes I said it! Who else has lived through scrutiny, judgement, and instability with amazing eyes!) Plus his age would lend “Kurt’s” character the cutting edge / hard-life image that he possessed.

Bilo | 1/12/2007, 2:29 pm EST

i’m all over the Brittany Spears choice and how bout Big Timberlake to play Cobain… who wouldnt watch that movie?

sikwitit | 1/12/2007, 2:24 pm EST

Nathan Lane and Robin Williams. They both cross dress the entire movie and we only figure out who is playing who at the end when one of them dies.

Let’s face it, Courtney will play Courtney because she’s a self important maniac, and someone pretty but under-qualified will play Kurt.

Coleson | 1/12/2007, 2:22 pm EST

Billy Bob Thornton as Kurt
Rue Paul as Courtney

to me, cobain was his words and music, and his artistic legacy speaks for itself.
leave it alone, bitch!

Kate | 1/12/2007, 2:19 pm EST

Courtney has to be Natasha Lyonne, she is so messed up it would be perfect.

as for Kurt that would be Christian slater 20 years ago.

Kurt - Lightning McQueen
Courtney - Buzz Lightyear
Dave - that One-eyed thing from Monsters.
Krist - those seagulls from Finding Nemo…..mine, mine, mine.

Justin Timberlake because he is just as big a pussy as Kurt was, and any crack whore on the street can play Courtney..you can save alot of money on casting by hiring a crack whore

SlowMo Erotic | 1/12/2007, 2:10 pm EST

No no no, I got it. Kelly Clarkson as Courtney and Justin Guarini as Kurt. It will be like a prequel to “From Justin to Kelly”.

Brittany Murphy as Courtney and Jared Leto as Kurt. I don`t think any A list movie stars would be interested in doing this movie.

it should be different actors to be represent different stages of their careers…and they should be musicians -Kim gordon, Kim deal as Courtney—Curt Kirkwood, Evan Dando etc. as Kurt…

or maybe that’s a really bad idea.

Kurt Cobain - Andy Dick

Krist Novoselic - Andy Kauffman(You know he’s still alive, right?)
Dave Grohl - Baba Booey from Howard Stern
And it should be directed by the Farrely Brothers

Juliette Lewis as Courtney Love and Johnny Depp as Kurt Kobain.

Nick | 1/12/2007, 1:23 pm EST

hmm… As far as looks go I’d think Britney Murphy looks the most like Courtney, but she’s not that great of an actress. Renne in my opinion’s a little old for the role, so I wouldn’t try her. My best bet for Courtney is Charlize Theron. As for Kurt, how about Heath Ledger.

tom wieler | 1/12/2007, 1:23 pm EST

definitely Brittany Murphy for what’s her name.

i love johnny depp, but as kurt? i dunno.

and why shouldn’t that husband/band member-murdering slut be allowed to talk about it? she was the one who wrote that book. charles cross was just the typist.

no one | 1/12/2007, 1:22 pm EST

both roles should be cast with “unknowns”

How about Billy Crudup?

Kenneth James | 1/12/2007, 1:01 pm EST

Well there is little doubt that someone like Johnny Depp would be a wonderful if not too old Cobain.

girlonfire | 1/12/2007, 1:00 pm EST

Courtney Love - Cate Blanchett - she can play crazy like nobody’s business.

Kurt Cobain - Ryan Gosling or someone completely new.

They shouldn’t make any movie…his life was public enough, already.

However! If they do, Wayne Newton should play Kurt and Debbie Reynolds can play Courtney. The best part is, all their scenes together can just be reinactments of scenes from Sid & Nancy. “…But Courtney, we are junkies…”

So Zellweger has “the rock in her blood” because she dated Jack White? I expect this will generate a lot of Winona Ryder jokes.
