Kurt Cobain Biopic to be Directed by Oren Moverman
Oscar-nominated The Messenger director/co-writer Oren Moverman will co-write and direct a biopic of singer/songwriter Kurt Cobain.
Screenwriter David Benioff (25th Hour, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) first took on the project in 2007 and did first-hand research with Cobain’s old friends. Moverman will rework the script.
The movie about the life, music and 1994 suicide of the Nirvana star will be based on Charles R Cross‘ 2001 biography, Heavier Than Heaven: A Biography Of Kurt Cobain.
The Messenger Trailer
Oscilloscope has just debuted the official trailer for Iraq War drama “The Messenger“.
Ben Foster stars as Will Montgomery, a U.S. Army officer who has just returned home from a tour in Iraq and is assigned to the Army’s Casualty Notification service. Partnered with fellow officer Tony Stone (Woody Harrelson) to bear the bad news to the loved ones of fallen soldiers, Will faces the challenge of completing his mission while seeking to find comfort and healing back on the home front. When he finds himself drawn to Olivia (Samantha Morton), to whom he has just delivered the news of her husband’s death, Will’s emotional detachment begins to dissolve and the film reveals itself as a surprising, humorous, moving and very human portrait of grief, friendship and survival.
