Robert Pattinson to play Kurt Cobain in new Nirvana movie

Twlight star Robert Pattinson has apparently been lined up to play Kurt Cobain in All Apologies, an upcoming film about the late Nirvana frontman's life being put together by his widow, Courtney Love.

"Robert has been calling and emailing [Love] non-stop," a source told The Sun. "She has been a bit wound up by his manners, but he is her number one choice to play Kurt".

Love is also in talks with Lost In Translation star Scarlett Johansson to play her in the upcoming flick, and she'd also like Fight Club director David Fincher to helm the flick.

I still hope this is some sick joke.

well, my first reaction when i saw this was NO WHY IS THIS HAPPENING WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY?

my attitude hasn't changed.

the only good i can draw from this is that it's in The Sun, so it might be bullshit.

No no no no no no no no!

Is this a JOKE?!

This is terrible news. I hope they're all so happy to have some stupid square-head eyebrow vampire boy to be playing KURT COBAIN!

What's wrong with people?!

I hope this is an April fools joke, a few weeks late...

PAAHAH
Is this actually true?! God, I bet Kurt Cobain would hate 'R-Patz'. Surely there a better actors to portray one of the industries best loved musicians.

I hope this is a sick joke also why the fuck do u want Rob pattison to play Kurt Cubain he's riddiculous u want Jared Leto he has the looks and the talent to play the rock star Kurt was

Posted by Tashaben | April 9, 2010 2:51 PM | Reply to this

urgh no he'll ruin it! Totally cant imagine him as Kurt Cobain. He probably only wants to do it coz Kristen Stewart played Joan Jett and feels the need to play a musician too...

Posted by Lizzy | April 9, 2010 2:53 PM | Reply to this

No fuck that, R-Patz could never pull it off. Nobody could. There shouldn't be a movie in the first place. Nobody could fill Kurt's shoes!!

this is absolutely ridiculous. i though this was a joke when i found out, he looks absolutely nothing like him and is lacking talent to portray him. no NO NO NO.

Robert Pattinson?! What. The. FUCK?! That's just plain ridiculous. Sounds like an interesting movie, but with Robert the main actor?! Get real. That would just ruin the moive... I dunno if Love is just trying to get all the teen girl "Twi-hards" are what ever the fuck it is to watch the movie...

This better be some sick joke, K!.

this is absolutely ridiculous. i thought this was a joke when i found out, he looks absolutely nothing like him and is lacking talent to portray him. no NO NO NO. the only actor that i think should play him is Joe Anderson, seriously, look at the resemblance and he can actually sing and play guitar. Courtney can not look at "r-patz" and think he looks like Kurt, she knew the man best, she should find someone that everyone can identify with.

@Mark
Alright, alright, A week late... I can't keep track of time right now, I'm on my holidays. I think you know what I was getting at though.

I've never liked Pattinson, but this is taking the piss.

Posted by Melody | April 9, 2010 3:07 PM | Reply to this

I agree with Niall get Jared Leto (someone who can actually play guitar and sing and who is genuinelt influenced by Kurt's work) to play him. I am a fan of the Twilight books and films but I can't see it myself.

Posted by Jeninblack | April 9, 2010 3:08 PM | Reply to this

I don't really like the idea of her being the one putting the film together. I don't really like the idea of Robert Patterson being lined up to play him. Hopefully she won't ruin it and hopefully neither will he but I can't see them doing much more than that... I really hope they don't, though.

Posted by chris | April 9, 2010 3:11 PM | Reply to this

This is actually taking the piss. You'd think she'd find someone that looks remotely like Kurt, and someone that could actually act. I am NOT happy about this. At all.

Robert is a faggot. That is all.

EVEN IF I WAS A BUCKTOOTHED FAT LEPER WITH NO EYES - wait i just read one saying jared leto, yeah he actually looks like kurt too. man kurt cobain is being sick at the thought of anyone playing him...

Posted by Mark | April 9, 2010 3:18 PM | Reply to this

People its Courtney Love! What did you expect but a headline grabbing corporate schill casting which increases the size of the potential viewing audience and thus her points from the gross?

If Kurt was around it wouldnt be pattinson he had a problem with.

they should let Jared Leto play Kurt!!!

Posted by Joe | April 9, 2010 3:19 PM | Reply to this

I'm not a fan of Robert Patinson so much i dont think that is how his name is spelt? but i'm a huge fan of nirvana and to be fair i think this guy Robert would maybe portray Kurt in a good way. actually, thinking about it, he was in harry potter and twilight and i've seen the trailer for Remember Me. he has the same way of portraying all the characters and it's not "like Kurt" I say let Robert play him and see how it ends up, if it's shit, probably will be then okay. But think about it, there are a few movies about Kurts life and the band and they are done well. Robert Patinson shouldn't be the one to put you all down.

i'm not too happy about the decision but here, it could be alright.

Posted by Mel | April 9, 2010 3:22 PM | Reply to this

screw all of you haters. robert pattinson has done more than just twilight. there is a strong resemblance in the face, and everyone is just being haters. i personally am not a fan of the twilight movies, but all of his underground movies are brilliant. wait until you actually see the movie before you judge. Kurt should feel privileged, i wouldn't pick anyone else to play him. Rest in Peace.

to be fair rob pattinson has been a musician longer than he has been an actor and done a few independent films, but i think it's such a bad idea to even make a film about kurt cobain in the first place. but so many rumours are made up about robert pattinson can you really trust it...?

Posted by Lauren | April 9, 2010 3:45 PM | Reply to this

OMFG why him??? why not joe anderson? he looks a lot like kurt, not like this......uhhh...-.-

Posted by angie | April 9, 2010 3:47 PM | Reply to this

As a personally huge fan of Nirvana, I would rather not watch some ponce, who thinks he is God's gift, play one of my very own heroes. It would seriously make Kurt turn in his grave knowing some trendy, apparently pretty boy is going to mimick him in a film. I don't even think little sparkle boy knows anything about grunge or Nirvana, and is trying to make all his little vampire-wannabe fans love him more.

Tbh it makes me sick to think that people will start to worship Kurt and Nirvana just because Twilight boy is playng him, when he should be worshipped for how he is.

If this comes true, I'd rather go out as Kurt did, than ever watch it. Robert Pattison would ruin the true image Kurt has.

It's like making some shitty actor play Dimebag in a film, or Jimi Hendrix...To me personally I feel Courtney is ruining her husbands memory if she carries this through.

The fuck?NO.

Why would you get someone who isn't Kurt Cobain, to play him in a movie?
Especially someone as shitty as him.

Now all the twilight kiddies are going to be freaking out and see the movie when they haven't even heard of Nirvina. >/

NO!! this must be a joke i LOVE nirvana and Kurt Cobain he was such an icon and to be honest it would be such an insult to his memory for ROBERT PATTISON (of all people) to play him!! WHY???

Nononono! Courtney really screwed up this. Camoon, Kurt deserves someone better cast as him. I mean really, a mainstream teens idol? You gotta be fucking kidding me. If it's necesary to make a movie about him, get the world's best actor cast as him! He fucking deserves it. And it's not necesary make a movie about him. I mean, I don't need it? I don't need somekind of shitty mainstream guy to play the greatest man ever been alive. Kurt would roll in his grave. Especially if someone like Pattinson (mainstream and everything and Kurt wouldn't ever want to be mainstream in any way I think) would play him. I don't know what else I could say

I think people need to grow up, if courtney thinks he's good enough then he's good enough alright! and you guys don't even fucking know him and i'm pretty sure none of you would want to have people hating on you without you even knowing them. so grow up... if he's good enough for the part he will get the part.

Kind of funny that I was just saying the other day that I'm surprised that there hasn't been a movie about Kurt Cobain yet, but that didn't mean I wanted one. Kind of expected though since their making movies out of so many people's lives. Not my decision to say who deserves a movie and who doesn't.

Now I'm a Robert Pattinson fan to some extent, but as Kurt Cobain..... No. Definitely so many people I would have chosen before. Scarlett as Courtney, again... No.

I really doubt this is even true. You can't really believe anything anyone says on the net these days. I will wait till I see it officially by a trusted source.

my first thoughts were 'WHAT?! Robert Pattison? No fucking way. He's the worst actor ever.'

but then, i realised. Courtney Love is in control, isn't she?

And Frances, their daughter, is a huuuuugggee Twilight fan - i've even read somewhere that Love was trying to set up a date between her and him. So it figures he's going to be playing the role of Kurt, right? Or, rather, she wants him to - just so she can set Frances up with him.

Well..I fucking hate Twilight, but when you think about it, the only reason all of us are thinking wtf right now is cause his name is attatched to Twilight..but his acting isn't actually THAT bad.. But I don't think Kurt would fucking want someone that was in Twilight to play him..thats just pure shit..ewh, just no.

I cannot believe what I am reading. This is just wrong.

I'm not interested in a biopic of Kurt Cobain, why they feel they have to dig out any more cash from his death is beyond me. Robert Pattinson is simply awful as well - that's not me hating at all. His acting his nothing incredible, he's just become a posterboy for the teen generation for his looks.

That's £7.00 I'll happily save in the cinema. Seriously, I hope this film bombs, or better, that this really is a joke.

This is just sad. First the craziest person in the music industry who probably only got famous due to Kurt is picking an "actor" who can't act. Just as a suggestion, Love stick to the drugs, and Pat stick to the tween movies where skilled acting is not necessary.

further more, the little twi-fags will suddenly become amazed with kurt cobain and his band's music. for all the wrong reasons! now i have nothing agaisnt people who like twilight but for someone to only love a band because the former singer, rest in peace kurt, is played by some foot-faced knobhead who loads of young female's like is a terrible way for the band to once again become popular. pattison's american accent is god awful and doesnt even remotely look like him. i really really REALLY hope courtney love comes to her senses and decides not to use him in the film.

OMG YES to the person who said Bert McCracken! I always thought he looked like him when he was blonde! Seriously, Robert Pattinson?! He's a stupid faggot who wont ever be able to play anyone as amazing as Kurt. And to the twilight fangirl who said Kurt should be pleased to have Robert Pattinson playing him, I think it's the other way round. This is absolutely disgusting, and Kurts memory doesn't deserve this sort of treatment, he was an amazing musician and Robert Pattinson shouldn't be allowed to play him. I'm really hoping this is some sort of stupid joke, or rumor, and if it's not, the casting directors should be absolutely ashamed of theirselves. If it does happen, and Robert Pattinson does play Kurt, you'll have every single one of those twilight fangirls watching the goddamn movie, and tbh, that could potentially ruin Nirvana for me, and I'm sure other Nirvana fans wont be too pleased about that either.

RIP Kurt <3

I'm in no way saying Rob Pattinson should be in the movie, no way! But to the people that have said get a muscian, he is a muscian. That said, please not Robert Pattinson!

Courtney will just make up the details. She is the worst possible person to do this movie hence her awful choice of BORING ROB! At least pick someone good at their job and someone who has the ability to represent a man like Kurt! Ahhh! FML!!!

I got this off
http://www.usmagazine.com/celebritynews/news/courtney-love-robert-pattinson-shouldnt-play-kurt-cobain-2010144

In an interview with The Canadian Press, Courtney Love slams rumors that she handpicked Robert Pattinson to play 90s grunge legend Kurt Cobain in an upcoming biopic. "Isn't that so stupid, who would cast him?" she says. "That's just wrong, no offense."


Her problem with Pattinson, 23? He's too much of a teenybopper.

"I watched the Twilight stuff very, very recently and I get it, it resonates with the teenaged girl in me, I understand epic love of that nature; I write about it all the time," Love, 45, says. "But isn't that silly?"

Who would she pick?
Ryan Gosling or Scottish actor James McAvoy.


She says she hopes her pal, film producer Trudie Styler (wife of Sting), will act as her "proxy" to ensure the movie is done right. If Styler isn't involved, Love says she might scrap plans for the film altogether

I hate to disagree with seemingly everyone, but Rob is a really good actor, if you ignore the eyebrows.
He is talented, and has the ability to interprit Kurt's unique character. If this is true, and judging by how he seriously he has taken roles in the past, I think he'd be perfect for this...
If anyone can do it, he can.
And I would think that its a good think Kurt is being immortalised in this way. Isn't it?

I don't we should judge Pattinson solely on twilight. Everyones says we don't want main streem crap, hes just doing a job, most amazing actors have been in shitty films. Give him a break I think he would do well.

Ok, i have liked Nirvana since i was 7 and im now 16. From what i've watched/heard/read about Kurt Cobain i solely doubt he'll want Rober Patterson playing a part of himself in a movie? Sorry, this is a pisstake. Robert Patterson can go fuckhimself.

people this is a lie the person who started this rumor has no idea what they are talking about, courtney love hasnt even selected who is going to play Kurt Cobain, and a lot of other sites are saying Ewan Mccgregor is going to play Kurt Cobain

Hey. I know this is old but I think Anthony Greene from Circa Survive should be the one to play Kurt Cobain.

Ok. Pattinson already ruined Twilight. He wants to ruin Kurt Cobain!? The God of Grunge? Hell no! I wish Ethan Hawke wasn't too old to play Kurt. I think he would have been a good idea. If I see this movie and Robert is playing Kurt I will personally go to Courtney's house and smack her across the face for killing her husband and casting a TERRIBLE actor for him in his movie!

Its aload of shite, he won't be, courtneys denying it, she chose Ewan Mcgreggor to play Kurt, there has already been the movie last days, and tbh it was ok, except it was sutpid that Blak(character based on Kurt) always had his head down, it's like, just cos he suffered depression doesnt mean he couldnt keep up his head?
