Kurt Cobain Bio-Pic In The Works

Nearly fifteen years after he ended it, Kurt Cobain’s life is beginning its journey to theaters. Variety magazine reports that Universal Pictures has hired David Benioff to adapt “Heavier Than Heaven”, the Kurt Cobain biography written by Charles Cross. The as-yet untitled biopic will be co-produced by Working Title and Ben Silverman’s Reveille imprint, with Cobain’s widow, Courtney Love, taking an executive production credit with her lawyer, Howard Weitzman.

The article says it’s unclear whether the studio has acquired music rights for the picture, but Cobain’s last albums were released on Geffen, a Universal Music Group label, so in theory, that shouldn’t be a point of concern. Variety also says the producers and studio haven’t commented on “the nature of the story they are trying to tell,” but with Love’s involvement, it seems a safe bet that the film will be on the positive side.

This whole idea just has a bad vibe to it. Will fans support a film produced by Courtney Love? This movie could easily be shunned by resentful hardcore “Nirvana” fans who are tired of Miss Love’s antics.
