From Naboo to Nirvana
It comes from a British tabloid so don’t go calling your friends just yet, but The Daily Express swears that Ewan McGregor is the frontrunner to play grunge rocker Kurt Cobain in a film about the late Nirvana frontman.
Courtney Love – Cobain’s loopy rocker wife; and mother of their child – has the final say in casting though (she recently bought the rights back to the movie; coincidentally at the same time that her career seems to be on the skids) so it’s a not sure thing that a Jedi Knight’s going to be singing ‘Teen Spirit’ just yet.
An inside source told the paper: “A number of actors have been talked about the role but Ewan has emerged as the number one choice.”
That inside source? I’m guessing it’s the executive producer – who’s looking for some greenbacks.
