joe anderson played a drugged out rock star in the movie 27 club. He would portray kurt well. For courtney Love, Asia Argento would be perfect.

THE SHOULD BE NO DOUBT THAT JOE ANDERSONE SHOULD PLAY KURT COBAIN>
THEY LOOK LIKE TWINS.

Joe Anderson would make a better Kurt than anyone else even mentioned, and he can sing!!No offense to Ryan Gossling but, no way. As for Courtney Love take anyone who look’s moderately like her, get them hammered and slurring into a mike and there ya go!

are they sure this is right?
on myspace there was an interview between robert patterson and Jared Leto, and jared looked like he was trying to look like cobain…

NOT Scarlett, please!!! She doesn’t have the scope or intelligence (at least to look at) to play Love. I really like Ellen Page, but she is only 5 feet tall. They need someone more obscure.

Although Kurt Cobain was way cuter than Joe Anderson. I don’t know if there’s a better option for the role.

Agree with Green Day Packers. I think Joe Anderson would be almost perfect or perfect for the role, but if the whole film or mainly must be supervised by Courtney, then I would advise him to not get involved because it’s going to be all Courtney’s point of view and that could be bad for his career. Forget about seing an objective and realistic enough story of his life. I don’t think is going to be a good film, rather a proponderantly subjective and inaccurate stoy/based on a real event film. And with regard to the role of Courtney, I don’t know who could play it, but Scarlett is very pretty and Courney is… let’s say all the contrary, but maybe with professional makeup. Anyway, someday, someone should make a frank, sincere and honorable film about Kurt Cobain, even if it’s just one… at least once.

axl woulda kicked kurts ass!!!!

Let Joe Anderson play Kurt ..Nobody else..Whats wrong with you all film makers…THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS LOOK. RYAN GOSLING WILL NOT FIT THE ROLE. NO WAY COURTNEY PLEASE..ONLY JOE ANDERSON NOBODY ELSE.

The best choice who can play Kurt is John Goodman:-)

Gosling can NOT portray the poetic genius of my generation.
Micheal Pitt has already played a character based on Cobain. Look up “last Days” and you will agree with me to the fullest!
He can act it, look it and sing it.
also, Ellen Page with blonde hair would be better for Love.
imo that is.

hmm…didnt think of Leto. He can play a VERY well rockstar/druggie. Just saying. and he could so look the part….
wow, I’m almost convinced he’s be the better choice.

id expect these comments about Courtney from a “Kerrang”site but from a Stone site it’s just pathetic.
Years ago Pitt did want to play ( Brad) Kurt , sadly he blackmailed Courtney ( re “Fight Club”) to do it at the time he was 37, and wanted her to play herself( it was a Van Zant thing) she told him to eff off and lost “Fight Club” over it. Everyone in Hollywood knows that. Kurts Father Don had 2 Brothers who killed themselves, his grandfather Leland had 3, even on his mothers side his gr grandfather took his own life, id be more concerned about the fact that in the ensuing years after his death over a BILLION dollars have been embezzled due to comments like a few of the ones above, the film is with “Working Title” ( Elizabeth, Fargo, Frost Nixon) and anyone who knows Courtney including high level media like RS knows she is a brilliant and civilised person , we dont buy into the “whore widow” thing due to the fact that its obvious nonsense and the woman has made !. some of the most seminal music in rock and roll and 2 . the recording “Nobody’s Daughter” i the most anticipated record by RS and The New York Times of the year, whats been heard had been heartwrenching and darkly beautiful, the sexism you teenage and teenage in thought kids exhibit is ridiculous and well,,,adolexcent male female hating behaviour. No they werent getting any divorce, thats also something everyone knows,
what I DO know as well is that despite Joe Andersons chops theres something about him not quite…there, im for Mcevoy, Gosling is lovely and has the wit, Mcevopy however has the million yard stare, wich was enough to freeze your blood. Kurt , beyond his wife, and a very very few friends, truly DID NOT care for humans. It is tragic whats been done to his finances and legacy by manipulative and crooked bankers and cpas and lawyers who also own banks, if you havent a clue as to what i am referring to i hear that by the end of the month you wont be able to run from it. Its the nastiest financial story of the last 100 years.
Its a film unto itself.
I met Kurt Cobain on one occasion and have met Courtney Love Cobain on about three occasions, she never fails to impress a room with her charm and her charisma, if your so determined to call her these sort of names and tell these kind of lies then please do it on some Slayer type website , this is not the approriate place.

Matthew Lewis to play novoselic!!

Desmond from LOST should play Eddie Vedder.

Okay, Ryan Gosling looks NOTHING like Kurt, his eye’s are too small and close together. His face is long and slim…shew just look at the photo. It really doesn’t matter whole play Kurt because this movie is going to be such a BIG DISASTER! Due to the fact that Courtney has is pretty much producing this movie. I can’t wait until Kurt’s case is reopened. Screw you COURTNEY almost Everyone hates you! Make sure you put the “Rome Incident” in the movie, When Courtney found Kurt lying unconscious she waited two hours before calling the ambulance (that is a fact) she thought for sure he was dead, she even took the time to apply her trashy makeup! Kurt was going to divorce her (another fact) plus she wanted the photos from the crime scene destroyed (the biggest piece of evidence of the Cobain case) I just hope that Scarlett doesn’t stoop down low enough to play as Courtney!

Besides Joe Anderson, I thought Tobey Maguire looks like Kurt the most. Depp & Pitt are like 45 yrs old, I’m sure they are good but I prefer a younger actor who play Kurt. Amber Benson looks quite like Courtney Love, but I’m sure she is not pretty enough for Love to even consider her.

At first when Cobain died I thought Michael J. Fox would be good to play him but he unfortunately got sick. I think Ewan McGregor is the perfect choice.

Tobey Maguire would have been a perfect Cobain. He has the nice blue eyes, dimpled chin, intense frown and is short.

I have been a long time fan of Kurt Cobain’s and I truly believe that Joe Anderson would make the perfect Cobain, there is no one better.

Fyi: River Phoenix is dead

You all should watch the trailer for the movie ‘The 27 Club’ starring Joe Anderson in a Cobain-esque

I fully agree that Joe Anderson should play Kurt. He looks so much like him. Other than that it should be unknown actors. Everyone is suggesting 40 year old actors to play 20 year olds, wtf?

PS: How the hell could you not know that River Pheonix is dead??? Hasn’t it been like 15 years or so???

kurt cobain should be played by Brad Pitt…he would do a lot of justice to the role.

jared leto should be asked to do this, he is perfect for it.

I didn’t know that when I wrote that but i know now :D but River looks like Kurt
River was also very handsome

Last time I checked, River Phoenix is as dead as Kurt Cobain.

I think that joe anderson or river phoenix should play kurt cobain and that eric stoltz should play axl rose

Haha Justin Long as Noveselic? There’s a foot of height between them! phhst!

NO waY!!!they are making the same mistake as Gus van SAnt had made by picking Michael Pitt for Last Days…JOE ANDERSON!!!!!! JOE ANDERSON!!!JOEEEEee!!!ARE YOU BLIND PEOPLE (COURTNEY)? ? ? JOE ANDERSON IS KURT!!!!! ^ ^

Joe Anderson. He’s totally give out the Cobain vibe, has a moody look about him. He acts well, sings well, plays bass guitar - in movie Control, the casts of the band performed the music for the film; in his new film 27 Clubs, his character is also a bass guitarist. He’s almost getting typecasted as musician. But he’s perfect as Kurt Cobain. If only Courtney can get over that he is not that famous. Courtney only wants famous actors to make sure she makes $ off this film.

JOE ANDERSON HAS TO PLAY HIM!!!!

And Maggie Gyllenhaal as Courtney.

Heavier than Heaven was a great book up until the fabricated ending, so I’m sure the movie will be great with the right people - but of course it’s going to end in suicide, and it won’t be anything Frances can watch, and then one day Courtney will go to jail for murder and they’ll have to do it all over again.

:)

I don’t want the money going to Courtney.

joe anderson as kurt cobain! why dont they see the major resemblance in appearance and voice. theyre identical. ryan gosling doesnt look like him for shit. i think anderson also has the same chin indent

what bout his parents they are major characters in who he is

Jack Black as buzz now thats funny shit.

Jared Leto should be playing Kurt No Question!.

I won’t watch the movie unless Joe Anderson plays Kurt Cobain…not that anyone cares

Also..you know, this may sound crazy..and I’m sure it won’t happen..but I think Scarlett would play a good Courtney..after some ugly makeup of course..( they kinda have the same lips)ya know? Anyway..the point is..

JOE ANDERSON!!!

youve gotta be kidding me. that Ryan Gosling looks nothing like cobain. what a joke. i heard hes 6 foot 2. really close to cobains 5′7

cuantas comparaciones plaese axl the best pero cada uno opina lo que quiera bue es asi nomas soy de argentina y apoyo todo lo q este mejor para la peli de kurt covain y axl saludos a todos

British actor Joe Anderson would be a fantastic Kurt. He’s able to sing, he looks just like him [to the point where it’s almost scary sometimes] and is very charismatic on screen.

happy birthday kurt

Joe Anderson from Across the Universe seemed to have a dynamic and raspy enough a voice to play Kurt. Also, from that movie he seemed to be committed enough to his roles to really fully involve his body in the acting. Which is of total concern considering Cobain’s timidness as well as his ability to stand up in the crowd.

Kurt said that Courtney reminded him of Nancy Spungeon. I think in casting her that should probably just be a main factor. But you can’t duplicate Courtney love, there is gonna be a hefty weight on whoever plays her.

It’s also important to mention that Nirvana were a band that never really looked their age. They looked considerably older. When you open the Nevermind sleeve, those guys didn’t look like they were in their twenties. They had wrinkles and they looked messy because they all had all been through the underground shitter to get where they are.

Kurt- Joe Anderson

Dave- Tom Green

Krist Justin Long

Kurt- Joe Anderson(”Max” Across the Universe)

Dave- Tom Green

AXL IS THE BEST

no one can be axl!

Why not ask Axl who he prefers to play him?

Scarlet cant play Courtney scarlet is beautiful…courtney not and AXl is perfect.

Alright, check this out…
What if Kurt Cobain were played by Eminem and have Courtney Love being played by Britney Murphy.
Then title the film “12-Gauge Mile”

Here’s an idea Axl Rose can play I dunno…..Axl Rose!!!

NY Johnny you sound like an idiot.

Axl Rose was every bit important in kurt’s life.. It was the biggest rock star at the time axl rose being challenged by new comer kurt cobain… its not just the mtv thing it was multiple stabs at each other, axl asked kurt to open up for them on the illusions tour he turned it down, in dont’t cry video by gnr there is a hat next to axl while laying on a chair that says nirvana. kurt telling kurt loder of mtv bad stuff about axl.. but i favor axl over kurt anyways, kurt thought he was kool when all he did was kill metal! which is sad like punk did at one time and just as the slogan goes, “punk is dead” so is grunge . im waiting for the t-shirts to be made. all they were all those seatle kids were drugies that died atleast real rockers like james, ozzy, nikki or slash wieghed it through.. but whatever it was realy the media that put it wing over that crap sadly. but grunge is dead thank GOD..Axl wrote epics, wrote melodic and heavy songs, he was such an entertainer, and yeah he had an ago so what! thats what u are when ur a rock star.. u should act big, as kanye sings, u should be honored by my lateness…

In what way would the 1992 vma fight with Axl Rose be a focal point of any Kurt Cobain movie? That’s a ridiculous statement.

OH PLEASE, IF THERE IS A GOD IN HEAVEN, LET THEM CAST SCOTT WEILAND TO PLAY AXL

I think everyone is too concerned about who looks or acts the part, but really it should be about fiding the BEST actors. Personally, I think Scarlett and Ryan are two of Hollywood’s finest. They would definitely nail whatever role they are cast for, so I hope to see them in this movie.

Horrible choices all around.
Leave this project alone.

Ron Jeremy as Tad = Brilliant. Has anybody heard about the TAD Documentary DVD? I saw a trailer on Youtube.

So far as Kurt goes, Courtney had touted Ewan McGregor a few years back so far as I cna recall but he’s ten years too old (he did a pretty good proxy-Cobain in ‘Velvet Goldmine’ at the very end after doing a good proxy Iggy Pop so we’ll have to dream on that one)…Jame McAvoy possibly, still perhaps not quite intense enough in terms of screen presence yet…Ryan Gosling I don’t favour much…Johnny Depp’s too old, River Phoenix too dead, the guy from ‘Last Days’ too anonymous and typecast…

Digressing quite a bit,if there was ever a film to be made about Captain Beefheart however,I think it could ONLY be Johnny Depp

how bout Donal Logue as Axl? remember his turn as Jimmy the cabdriver? he could pull it off

Jake Gyllenhall looks like a horse with Down Syndrome…maybe he should play Grohl?

Eric Stoltz as Axl.

Don’t know why, but each time I see Kiefer Sutherland, I think of Axl Rose… so, Kiefer should play Axl!

Britney Spears would be a perfect Axl Rose.

or kurt cobain’s rotting corpse as phil spector

phil spector as kurt cobain’s rotting corpse

MY GOD

JAMES MCAVOY = KURT COBAIN

“Viggo Mortensen would be a good pick for KC if Viggo was a bit younger…”

Viggo Mortensen for that straw-haired take the easy way out leave your daughter without a father overrated ass wipe? LOL!

I love how Courtney wants Scarlett Johanssen to play her! Don’t flatter yourself bitch!

Viggo Mortensen would be a good pick for KC if Viggo was a bit younger…

Brad pitt with long red hair could be Axl

Johnny Depp would have killed that role. And he’s already singin in his new movie. Perfect fit.

Carrot Top

scarlett johanssen? is she delirious? amy winehouse, on the other hand, would be a better choice. they have a lot more in common.

Rolling Stone - I hope you are kidding. You all are kidding right?

Choices for Cobain

Billy Crudup

Peter Sarsgaard

Johnny Depp

or

resurrect River Phoenix

Chris Marquette as Dave Grohl

Paul Dano as Krist Noveselic

Billy Crudup should play KC - hasn’t CL seen Jesus’ Son?

Why not cast Whoopi Goldberg as Courtney Love?,she could wear a blonde wig. Courtney has complete creative control of this movie,so I`m sure Courtney will be cast as a supportive, wonderful wife, who only wanted the best things for Kurt. She`s a living saint.

Owen Wilson would make a perfect Kurt Cobain and who can play Axl Rose . . . maybe Danny Bonaduce.
