Courtney Love planning Kurt Cobain film

Well she recently rubbished rumours of plans for a musical being afoot (thank goodness for that), but filmmaker Brett Morgan has confirmed that Courtney Love will bring the life of her late husband Kurt Cobain to the big screen in the near future.

Speaking to the New York Post, Morgan revealed that he has been collaborating with Love for five years on the project:

"Courtney is the one that brought me into this. We've been trying to find the right time to put this film together and the time is now."

He also noted that the movie would come from a unique perspective, employing plenty of Kurt's own video:

"...like a third-person autobiography [as] if Kurt was around and making a film about his life. Kurt was not only an amazing songwriter and musician, he was an incredible artist and film-maker."

Start placing your bets on who will play the grunge icon now. Michael Pitt did a good job as a pseudo-Kurt in Last Days some years back, whilst Love has reportedly had her eye on a certain Mr. Gosling...
