It smells like Teen Beat spirit (among other things) as UK tabloid The Sun reported today that Robert Pattinson could play Kurt Cobain opposite Scarlett Johansson in a Courtney Love-sanctioned Cobain biopic. The Sun even mocked up a hilariously terrible photo, which is worth checking out. The role is apparently Pattinson’s dream part, since it’ll allow him to showcase himself as a musician. The Sun claims that Pattinson has been in contact with Love regarding the film, as she wants approval over casting, screenplay, and music, and reportedly wants David Fincher to direct. The last time a Cobain biopic rumor came around, Zac Efron was rumored to play Cobain, so…I guess this is a better alternative, sort of, if you think about it. It’s one of the toughest ‘would you rather’ questions I can think of. Thankfully, this is unsubstantiated so far, because does anybody really want a mopey vampire Kurt Cobain? I can only imagine that he would be all sparkly, and that’s just not cool. Kurt Cobain deserves far better, as do we all.
[Update: Spin reports that Pattinson is NOT in talks to play Cobain. Shocker.]

Do you guys believe Robert really sparkles in real life? At first I thought it was a joke but now I'm not so sure. People may really be that stupid.
NO NO NO! The only guy worth playing Kurt is Joe Anderson, he already perfected the performance in Across the Universe; replicate that in a film about Kurt Cobain and you have a guaranteed Oscar.
Pattinson looks NOTHING like Kurt Cobain, nor could he play the part very well, this movie is going to blow anyways because all of the crap that happened between him and Courtney “She-Vamp” Love is going to be cut out. This movie shouldn't be made until she dies of a heroin OD.
I agree the movie shouldn't be made until Love checks out, however, control of the project will then fall to Francis who has, from the looks of it, also been feasting at the crazy buffet. I predict she will insist on playing bother her mother and her father in a 9 hour stop motion epic to be written and directed by Harmony Korine.
