Nikki Finke is reporting that Universal Studios has greenlit a Kurt Cobain biopic, based on Heavier Than Heaven, Charles R. Cross’ print bio. Yes, we’ll wait a moment for you to take that in.


Oh, and it’s being produced by Courtney Love and her lawyer.

(Sigh.)

We think that if this actually happens, Ryan Gosling pretty much has it locked up, but you know, the guy’s been pretty classy thus far, so maybe he’ll bow out. Michael Pitt's presumably not famous enough. Any other ideas? Part of us really wants to see Zac Efron mainlining some smack and puking backstage at SNL, but that’s just crazy talk. This is a Universal pic, after all, not Disney! — Bryan Christian
