Courtney Love Says Cobain Biopic Would Have to Star Her

Courtney Love has implied that a Kurt Cobain biopic may still go ahead but that it would be “too weird” without her in it.


Love has daughter Frances Bean Cobain with the late rocker who committed suicide back in 1994, two years after the pair married in 1992.

 

There have been rumours circulating for years that a biopic could be in the pipe line and Courtney has hinted that the project could still happen.

 

"I know that Universal wants to make the film but I don't know that I want to do it until..."

 

"I would feel weird having a film made about me and Kurt unless I was actually acting myself. It would be too weird."

 

She went on to reveal in an interview with the Huffington Post that there have been several attempts by Hollywood moguls to get her to agree to a film in the past but wouldn’t want it to go ahead without her starring in it herself.

 

"There was talk of a biopic a few years back," she said.

 

"I think I changed my mind about it, but I did do a deal with Universal. Scarlett Johansson was into it; I was also into Michelle Williams. These were the people the studio offered to me. It wasn't me choosing them. I kind of liked Anna Faris, which everyone said I was insane for, but I thought she kind of looked a little bit like me, and she was a little prettier. [That's] the whole point of Hollywood: I was offered to play Janis Joplin. I'm a little prettier than Janis Joplin so it's always like that. Whatever."
