Another Kurt Cobain Film in the Works

From Dot Music
The life and death of Kurt Cobain is to be turned into a movie, with an acclaimed biography forming the script, according to reports. Charles Cross' acclaimed "Heavier Than Heaven", originally released in 2002, was based on hundreds of interviews with the dead rock legend, his friends and family. Universal Pictures are understood to have secured the rights to the book and have now asked "Troy" screenwriter David Benioff to put together a script. Courtney Love, Cobain's widow, is expected to executive produce the film, alongside her lawyer and part-time actor David Benioff. There is currently no news on whether any Nirvana music will be featured or if Dave Grohl, who has a tempestuous relationship with Love, has been asked to get involved. 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 AJ Schnack's "About A Son", which incorporates 25 hours of interviews with the star, against an atmospheric cinematic backdrop.
