Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

As we previously reported, plans are moving forward for a movie based on Heavier Than Heaven, Charles Cross’s popular book about the late Kurt Cobain.

The question remains: Who will play the Kurt Cobain on film?

Suffice to say, the always outspoken Courtney Love has finally come out with her thoughts on the matter—and Twilight fans are going to be angry with what she has to say.

Confronted with rumors (and “in-costume” photos) insisting that Twilight star Robert Pattinson had been tapped for the lead role (with Scarlett Johansson set to play Love), Love told Canadian press outlets that casting Pattinson would just be “wrong,” Movie Talk reports.

Courtney’s not convinced, but we think Pattinson might actually work in the role, given his history of playing dead/undead rebels.

Then again, maybe Love’s right. After all, Rolling Stone has reported that in the movie Nirvana’s songs would be performed by the actor portraying Cobain, rather than lip-synched to the original recordings— and we’ve all heard Pattinson sing (remember his contribution to the Twilight Soundtrack, “Never Think”? Or his horrid turn as a singer in the movie How to Be? Not exactly Nirvana-like…)
