Really Courtney? It's not long ago that you were trying to hook Rob up with your daughter REMEMBER??? (in case you don't, because I know what your memory is like Courtney, have a look HERE)
Do I sense a little sour grapes here perhaps??
Did Rob not come knocking on your door after you pushed your daughter in his face in every magazine you could get to listen ? NO? WHAT was he thinking I wonder?
From EW Popwatch
Courtney Love has described the rumors that Robert Pattinson could play Kurt Cobain in a proposed biopic of the Nirvana singer as “stupid.” “Isn’t that so stupid?” Love told the Canadian Press of the casting scuttlebutt, “That’s just so wrong.” The Hole singer, who is also of course Cobain’s widow, said that she recently watched “the Twilight stuff,” and that “it resonates with the teenaged girl in me,” but that she would prefer the role go to either Ryan Gosling or James McAvoy.

Courtney Love is stupid
I think same thing.
I haven't douts...Rob could be very good also in this role
Oh please Courtney.. You only wished he would even consider playing Kurt if YOU have anything to do with the movie.. actually I think he would do a great job considering his looks and his musical talent byotch!
Hear me.. I luv them both but, can James McAvoy or James Gosling sing? Wait, now that I think about it, I guess Kurt really didn't "sing"..
Courtney.. YOUR STUPID!
Sorry for my english doubts not douts.
Yes, Courtney would SAY it's stupid, unless Rob actually were asked and actually did commit. That would be a different story, don't you think!!
FILTM
Rob as Kurt = perfect!
I cannot see any of those mentioned as playing Kurt.
...I think Jared Leto would be good for the role, not Rob...
ditto to what @nzkstewlover said...
Courtney is a flake. I agree with Kate, sounds like sour grapes.
No offense to Ryan Gosling or James McAvoy, but they are the poor man's version of Rob.
I'd love to see Rob play a rockstar, but I hope he stays away from people like Courtney Love, they are trouble...
Courtney would be lucky to have Rob play Kurt.
I think Rob would do a great job playing Kurt Cobain.
Kurt I loved his music and it was sad that he cut his life short.
I am not sure a movie about Kurt will be very interesting, but I am sure some serious Kurt fans would love to see it.
I started to write some serious venom about Courtney, then decided it was a waste of time. I am not a fan of her at all. I am glad Rob is not doing the movie, I think it's a wise career and sanity choice.
I have to concur....
No Courtney your're stupid..sticking out my tongue too
@CL,wom, angie, JC ITA!!!
Courtney Love - ugh...
This discussion is really funny. I'm a fan of Nirvana, Robert Pattinson, James McAvoy and Ryan Gosling. For this reason I'm very interested in the outcome. Of the three discussed actors for me Robert Pattinson is the least stupid choice. James McAvoy was already in discussion about 3 years ago. This was on the peak of my McAvoy crush.
Asked about playing Kurt Cobain he said
"I've smelled my own teen spirit and I can corfim it's not sufficient to play Kurt Cobain."

Even then I couldn't imagine him in the role and on the other hand he can't sing.
Ryan Gosling CAN sing. He has a band called Dead Men's Bones and they are just fantastic. They've actually released a CD. You have to listen to him on youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpTyXkzN9qk&feature=related
But I think he doesn't resemble at all to Kurt Cobain.
As womardsart said Rob has the musical talent and the look to do it! So he seems to be an obvious choice.
@Wom and CL agree with u girls
@Paule what didnt you listen him omg go to youtube and write let me sign and never think they used his songs in the first twi-saga Twilight
*paces back and forth* Im gonna pimp slap her..
I think they shoved that botox needle 2 close to her brain. Rob would have been PERFECT. Shyte! he even looks like him a lil.
CL knew KC for what - 3 mins. and 1 min she was sobber. Plus she's not a good judge of character. nuff said. Off to work now
Wow... Courtney actually (accidentally) got something right. The idea of Rob playing Kurt is stupid!
Yes, he could do it well, but the only thing the critics/nutfans would see would be the overly hyped "Rpattz," not the performance. He would be putting an enormous target on his back, to what good?
There are many other great stories out there that need to be told that are far better suited to Rob and his goals. Crawl back to your hole Ms. Love, ASAP...
Your loss Courtney, your loss...
This is coming from a woman whose child has been taken away from her. I like Nirvana, but Rob can do better than playing a loser who married a loser and was not strong enough to conquer his drug addiction. I feel so bad for their daughter. Rob does not need this film role, he is sheer perfection next to this dead grunged out singer songwriter. I apologize if I offended any Kurt Cobain fans but it upsets me when degogatory statements are said about Rob. Courtney change your last name from Love to Loser.
Consider the source. *snorts* (Wow, funny on multiple levels.)
LAY OFF THE CRACK PIPE, YOU FREAK.
I realy like Nirvana and think Cobaine was quite talented, although so distressed and self-destructive. I think Rob is brilliant, and although I don't see much resemblance, Rob manages to make himself look, as if he he creates a mask, like characters whom we otherwise would not think of as being similar in looks. I don't see any similarity wth McAvoy or Gosling. I could see Rob playing Jeff Buckley, and although I think Franco might look a little more like Buckley than Rob does, I think Rob would be best pick for the music. I know Rob is really into van Morrison, and although he can get the voice and music, I don't see where he would look him at all, plus I don't know if tehre is anythng particularly interesting or novel about van Morrison enough (like there is about Joan Jett, who was the first of the girl rockers) to do a biopic of himself. Last, if we are talking about playing music biopics, we have seen posted here photos where Rob looks amazingly like Lennon (and this is strange since I think Rob is beautiful and I never thought Lennon was much on looks).
I think Rob might do well to play Jim Morrison of The Doors. They have somewhat similar looks and he was a very charismatic front man for The Doors. He was also a poet and song writer - things that might work for Rob's sensibilities
Yet, Val Kimmer already did a pretty grand job of that; might be good for Rob to set his mark on someone/something not yet done, if it is important for himself to do a music biopic at all. And he already presented a topnotch biopic portrayal (albeit non-music) of Dali, so I don't know why people are so anxious for Rob to do another biopic at all except to hear him sing and play, and wouldn't that be better for his own stuff rather than that of someone else?
I personally would rather he find more scripts along the social and human quality of Remember Me, but with different charater types now for him to explore and portray, and then for Rob to give himself time and patience for his own music.
He has already played a real person, a phantasy person, a young troubled and pensive man on the cusp of finding himself and life, and now a manipulative man in the quest for fame and fortune with using people (esp women) as his tool (understand that however you like).
Now it is time for him to play another type-- I don't know how to say it in English, but it literally translates as:righteous person and bad for himself (meaning, a really very good person who struggles sometimes, who has challenges that thwart him from being so good, so that he has to constantly consciously make the effort and choice to be good). Is there a word/phrase for that English? A flip side of that, and another interesting character possibility, is a bad person and good to him-- a fairly wicked person who still has some good in him, and so has conflict. (This might be so for most 'wicked' people anyway). ANd then of course there is the inbetween type--one who struggles constantly, has good and not very good attributes and behaviours. All would be interesting for Rob to portray, depending on the script.
Sure there have been books and movies with these characters: East of Eden, Becket, and although I could see Rob playing well in these, I would like to see him make his mark in films that have not been done before, such as remember Me was, something original and intelligent on its own.
Oh please. Don't listen to a thing Courtney Love has to say. She has ZERO credibility and Hollywood knows it. And Hollywood is the only one that counts. All this yackfuckinyack in the pop culture doesn't mean shit. Here today. Gone tomorrow.
And I agree Solas. After that one kinda strange photo shoot, I looked at it and thought...oh my god, he could play John Lennon. And I never saw it either, 'cause I never saw any resemblence between the two. But strangely, it's there.
And yeah, he would make a great Jim Morrison. Unfortunately, that bio has already been done, but it wasn't a very good one. I know that Ray Manzarek has wanted for years to tell the real story of that band and interestingly enough, there's a new docu (sanctioned by The Doors) in theatres now.
Jim has always held a special place in my heart. Beautiful, two fisted drinking, Irish poet drunks who die at 27 will do that to you. They'll haunt ya. He sure does me.
I'd love for Rob to play him. Jim Morrison was much more than just his public persona. He was college educated. He was gentle and soft spoken. He was an INCREDIBLY old soul. And he was one crazy mutherf*cker. No. Seriously. I think he was mentally ill. Alot of genuises are. Jim would be my pick for Rob, but I've never entertained the idea because they've already done a film version of his life. 'Course that don't mean they can't do another.
Buckley would be great too, but I think James Franco might have the inside track on that one (I think Rob thinks that too...or he did). As for Kurt?
I can't imagine any actor wanting to take that one on. Not right now anyway. It's too soon. People have a very specific idea (right or wrong) of who Kurt Cobain was and no actor is going to be able to get it right, enough so to please everyone. Wait. Give it more time.
Anyway...I just want Rob to get a role where he can play a musician on film. And it doesn't have to be a film bio. Just play a musician. Show that he has that kind of talent. If he can, then it will give him INSTANT credibility and then his own music career would be much more easily accepted. If he goes out and cuts an album (no matter how good it might be), he's just gonna look like another cheesy actor trying to get a record deal. And Rob knows this.
I love his idea though of putting out some music under a different name. Lets see if people really like the music, or if they just like Rob.
God. He is so fucking brilliant!
ah - didn't realize Jim Morrison had already been done. Anyways I don't need him to do a music biopic - there is plenty of other stuff he can do:)
Yeah. Oliver Stone did a bio in 1990 (I think). Film wasn't very good, but Val Kilmer was amazing. Meaning, he looked and sounded so much like Jim, that it gave you the heebie jeebies. But I don't think that film 'captured' who Jim Morrison really was. It was all about surface appearances. They didn't find Jim Morrison's soul at all in that film.
I'd love to see Gus Van Sant take another swing at it.
I also have a special place in my heart for Jim Morrson, may he rest in peace, even though i get really aggravated at all these fools who kill themselves off, so young, especially when so many n the world are ill not of their own doing. I was a young teen--or posibly preteen--when he died; I remember hearing the news when staying at my friend's farm, where I was free to be myself and listen to what I want in ways that I couldn't at home. (I ended up leaving home at 15). But there was something so animal yet poetic about him and his music, that fascinated me and drew me to him, at the time.
I don't know much of what Cobaine was like, but I did love Nirvana at the time of his death (even though I could only hear it in the car as I was married to a controlling abusive SOB who would not let nonreligious music in the house) and still do listen to Nirvana (now in the car AND the apartment, thank you very much :-).))
ITA-- it would be great for Rob to get his music out there under another name and see how it does without his name.
Right-- Val Kilmer WAS Morrison as close as any human (maybe even MOrrison hmself at certain times!) might get, but the movie itself was not particularly good, just a showcase for Kilmer's and Morrison's talent.
As I grew up (or people tried to make me grow up) mostly in the 60s and early to mid 70s, I don't agree that if you remember the 60s you werent really there, but I have a feeling that most of a certain age in the 60s dont recall too much, and so I don't know how close of a story we could really get on Morrison.
And I am not sure if he was mentally ill--I don't have what to go by to ascertain, although people who rung their and others' lives with drugs, or alcohol, or smoke, are by definition mentally ill, since they are destroying themselves.
That was supposed to be--who RUIN their own lives.... (must to learn to type someday)
This rumor has been debunked, and Robert never asked for any of this, and yet she continues to bring his name up just to get attention to her movie, but at the same time she mentions Robert in a condescending attitude, which makes it sound like bitterness on her part. Otherwise why would she bring up Robert's name, when none of those rumors are true and have been debunked? She wants the attention that Robert's name gets.
And in the end, I am glad that there is no biopic in Robert's near future. And I think everyone should just ignore this woman.
I don't know if she really has a grip on reality or sanity, so i am not so sure if there is reason to what she says or does.
Well like I said, Courtney Love has no credibility and this little blip will be forgotten like yesterday's trash. If we get ourselves into a tizzy over every rumour about Rob (whether work related or personal), were gonna be twirling for some time. People seek to link their name with his for one simple reason...ATTENTION! Unless something comes from HIM, try to ignore it. Hard, I know, especially if if puts him in a negative light. But the best we can do is not add more fuel to fire.
As for Jim's mental status...
I don't know that he was diagnosed with anything, but...he struggled in this world, from childhood on. I don't know if that makes you crazy, but it's usually those with a bit of crazy that are the non-comformists. 'Cause it's just easier to get in line and do what is expected of us. But some just cannot. They'll risk looking nuts because they just can't 'go along.'
But...he did a lot of self destructive tendencies and yeah, for some, that's makes you crazy. And I think he was. Well...he shore nuff danced at the edge of crazy AND he had a morbid fascination with death. Some thought that death was his true mistress...it pulled at him.
And it got him.
Like Rob care, Rob can do any role if he wants it. Courtney thinks of herself as too self important,I don't see any of the actors she says can do it......
There are other movie film biopic that we want to see Rob in ;
John Lennon, Elvis, Claude Debussy
Courtney got her panties in a wad when Rob would not respond to her about dating her daughter. she wanted Rob to be Frances first date. Ugh.....
Would love to see Rob play Elvis and Kristen play Pricilla. they would be perfect.
she only watch Twilight? she shd see his other movies before making an opinion!
