Will Mary Kate Olsen play Courtney?

i really hope this movie helps remove 'last days' from my memory...

@Rabi: nope, but britney will.

McAvoy was pretty good in Last King of Scotland, although it's telling that he was perceived in the Oscar race as a "Supporting Actor" to Forest Whitaker, even though McAvoy was in virtually every scene in the movie. Anyway, eyes notwithstanding, I don't get a Cobain vibe from the guy -- no sense of hidden depths -- but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

It's Mr. Tumnus!

Oh damn, you're right!

James McAvoy? Don't be ridiculous. I always thought the one who sings and plays piano from Hanson should play Kurt. They look alike. I wish this movie wasn't being made. I hate this.

OMG, it's totally Mr. Tumnus! Cutie!

Um, someone remind me why a Nirvana movie needs to be made? Other than to make some money off of the back catalog?

Blegh. I'll just go re-watch Last Days, which was brilliant without being, you know, achingly heavy-handed, which I can only imagine an "officially sanctioned" Cobain biopic would be.

Get the one who plays piano and sings from Hanson to play Kurt. They look alike. I wish this movie wasn't being made. I hate this.

I wonder if Courtney will O.D. to make the film a blockbuster?

he like totally didn't kill himself and abandon his family or anything, y'all. i mean let's demonize courtney just a little bity bit more huh? nothing like seeming 13 in your mid 20s...and i'll stick to the opinion that last days was a trivial, boring waste-kim g and all.

@jetblackturd: He looks as much like Kurt as Forrest Whittaker does. Come on. Long blond hair and blue eyes does not make a doppelganger.

Try again, but just once next time.

Ewan MacGregor already played Kurt in the last 15 minutes of "Velvet Goldmine." Hell, his name was even "Kurt." Dude looked exactly like him.
