DIRECTOR BRETT MORGEN TALKS KURT COBAIN FILM DETAILS
Brett Morgen, who also directed the Rolling Stones film Crossfire Hurricane, dished to NME about some details regarding the upcoming Kurt Cobain film that he says has been in the works for five years. Courtney Love and the Cobain estate brought in Morgen to work on the film.
“If you think about Kurt, he’s a contradiction. He could be sincere and sentimental, and also ironic and sarcastic. He was sweet and sour. He was incredibly funny too, and the film has to reflect his sprit,” Morgen said.
“The thing about him people might not know too is that he was an incredible visual artist and left behind a treasure chest of comic books, paintings, Super8 films, all sorts. We’re hoping the Cobain film, that’ll hopefully be released in 2014, will be this generation’s The Wall – a mix of animation and live action that’ll allow the audience to experience Kurt in a way they never have before. It’s very ambitious.” Source
Sounds interesting. I’d much rather see a Layne Staley film but I’ll probably end up checking this out.
I’ll see it, but I want to see a good biopic as well.
I agree with Coy! I would LOVE to see a film about Layne. Kurt’s life has been explored and expanded upon both by book and documentary; Layne’s on the other hand really hasn’t.
“the film has to reflect his spirit”–as shaped and interpreted by Courtney. Also I’d be surprised if the rest of Nirvana agreed to music rights…
and I also agree with Coy, but Layne’s life was too frikkin’ sad.
Isn’t that vampire goof from the Twilight movies cast as Cobain in this biopic? Yes, nothing signifies the spirit of Kurt Cobain quite like that chotch…
I am a huge Nirvana fan, but man another film about Kurt Cobain. They are beating this avenue to death, they made Last Days, About a Son, plus a slew of other movies about Nirvana and punk.
I guess it’s not too surprising, I just read a billion pages have been written about this man.
Joe- is Robert Pattison really cast as Kurt Cobain? Or you mean a different vampire goof from those “Twilight” movies? Pattison doesn’t look like Cobain at all.
Never seen “About A Son”, but “Last Days” hardly qualified. That was a pretty fast and loose, indirect, non-specific, and very meandering ‘poem’ of a movie about Kurt. Not to mention the genital-mouthed, empty-headed actor who played the “sort of Kurt” lead role, wandering around in self-involved nothing. He even kissed-up to Courtney in real life for christ’s sake (a story featured here). Throw on top his own poor-man’s Nirvana band, Pagoda, and the whole thing adds up to month-old cheese scraped off the taint of the dead. Served on a Ritz.
A Nirvana/ Kurt biopic should be played by someone with exceptional skill and not just a pretty face/ flavor of the month/ cover-boy teen idol douchebag shit merchant.
Well said Iso!!! I got your back on that one.
Yup Shadows, I don’t know how that fool can even talk with those dick lips getting in the way…
I agree with Coy and Kris. We’ve seen everything about Kurt’s life who We love and respect dearly. But nothing has ever been made about Layne Staley such an interesting life a beautiful man. Yet not even a small documentary or behind the music has been made in his honor. Just a sloppy biography that is questionable to this day. I wanna see some Layne Staley please!!!
The only person who would play Kurt and give the part due justice is Joe Anderson. Period. He can sing well, he has those piercing blue eyes, and in other movies his resemblance to Kurt is almost uncanny (The 27 Club). Michael Pitt was a horrible choice, even if *Last Days* was a Gus Van Sant film.
Courtney — are you reading this?
Joe Anderson!!!
Peace
AIC Forever
I have to tell you that after watching About A Son, that really broke my heart about the struggles and pain that Kurt Cobain had to go through growing up and going through the emotions of being a rock n roll celebrity and generation poet
so i hope this new documentary film, will show us a whole new point of view that Kurt Cobain would of wanted us to see and understand what he felt all those years about in the media spotlight, about his punk rock music foundations and why did his life go from a blessing to a curse after meeting Courtney and all.
Would love to see it. Would love to see one on Layne, too.
Michael Pitt! Thank you, that’s his name. Goddamn mouth on him looks like the lips/ flaps of some large mammal’s asshole.
@Pitt is a fine actor. And why do you stick on his lips so much? Weird…
Michal Pitt is a great actor. He was just a wrong, wrong choice for *Last Days*. It’s just my opinion. I love Gus Van Sant. The film was obviously based on the last 48-36 hours of Kurt’s life and his face is all wrong. He has this real baby face and his mouth is too full and is all wrong for a portrayal of KC. I mean – jeez – they even had him cover his mouth with his hand/fingers on the DVD cover — gee I wonder why that was…?

Joe Anderson!!!
Joe Anderson as Kurt or bust.
Take a wild fucking guess Alternadude. Go for it. His mouth/ face are so repulsive to look at the shit is unavoidable. No he is not a fine actor- you’re fuckin weird for thinking so. He’s an empty-headed sack of shit. Cheers!
