Untitled Kurt Cobain Project (2009)...
I have know clue how legitimate this is, but I heard about it here. If it is for real (for next year), who would you cast as Kurt. My personal out of line view is that we would first have to legalize cloning. Then we could find somebody with like say, oh I don't know, maybe a used River Phoenix brush or something...maybe. And then, hey, go to work. And if there's anyone anywhere who thinks that I'm just grabbing at that name because he's dead too, well, listen to this theory. Go to Blockbuster or Movie Gallery or whatever you got and just (or maybe Amazon.com I think has a Director's Cut) just go and get a copy of "The Thing Called Love". Not at all for River's dubbed singing voice or very much at all for the country songs. But just watch River's mannerisms and tone of voice and personality and facial expressions and the way his hands work and how he expresses his own vocabulary and mostly for his total inability to fully look anyone in the eye. I mean, not just to do a halfbaked Kurt Cobain impression in a biobic. He would (in my mind) be the guy to get to work on stripping and tearing away his River Phoenix personality and then coming to own Kurt Cobain's for a while. But I think that if he was still here, River Phoenix would be the perfect person to do something that would (on the surface anyway) come across as morbid, depressing, sarcastic, randomly insightful, suicidal, dark and (hopefully it will be) totally and unconventionally like any other biopic. If they do it right then the film itself will not stress over whether or not it pleases every single crowd that's out there. But like with films like "Lenny", "Man On The Moon" and "I'm Not There"; it would hopefully be something that more than anything pleases and finally and ultimately satisfies (or would satisfy) Kurt Cobain himself and everyone or most of those that he came in contact with when he was alive. Anyhow ramble...what's your thoughts now...yay or nay (and/or alternate choices).
