Scarlett Johansson Portraying Courtney Love in Curt Cobain Biopic?
Love her or hate her, Courtney Love is a rock icon of sorts. Maybe because of her dead husband Kurt Cobain and band Nirvana, but still. The much-troubled Love, once a stripper whom some Nirvana fans feel was legitimized by him, has decided to executive produce a movie about Cobain. The movie is possibly based on an older biography about Cobain that Love detractors say was biased and inaccurate.
For the role of herself, Love has apparently asked Scarlett Johansson (The Black Dahlia, The Nanny Diaries) – who is rumored to have edged out Kirsten Dunst. Ryan Gosling is said to be playing Kurt Cobain. Not sure how I feel about Gosling, but I think Johansson is perfect for Love’s role.
Johansson will also appear in four films in 2008 (The Other Boleyn Girl, He’s Just Not That Into You, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Mary Queen of Scots) and one in 2009 (The Spirit). Love will appear as porn star Linda Lovelace in Lovelace (2008).
