Courtney Love All Set To Ruin the Upcoming Kurt Cobain Movie

Leaving aside the fact that there already is a perfectly good Kurt Cobain movie – that would be Gus Van Sant‘s spooky, beautiful Last Days, which didn’t refer to the Nirvana singer by name but was totally all about him – the ’90s are in right now, so that means it’s time for Hollywood to churn out an unnecessary biopic.

It’s a good idea to take anything Courtney Love says with a grain of salt, but nonetheless, The Huffington Post report that the singer and well-known crazy person is “involved in the casting and production process”. She says that she has been watching demo reels for potential actors to play the part of her former husband and … at least she seems to be enjoying herself.

“[The] boys are so pretty, so cute,” she told an interviewer. “I won’t name names because I don’t want to jinx it for anyone but these are 25-year-olds who are blond, gorgeous and the new Brad Pitts. There’s a ton of those. Some are really good actors, not just pretty faces. I don’t want to be the person who makes that decision. Let’s leave that to the agents; I have great agents now. But I will have a say in it.”

Now, let’s not throw too much shade Courtney’s way – Live Through This is a fucking kickass album, and rumours of her involvement in Kurt’s death are at best mean-spirited and at worst total crazypants – but the lady is a loose cannon, and letting her anywhere near something like this just seems like a recipe for trouble. 

Then again, this is Courtney Love we’re talking about, so those demo reels might just be YouTube videos of Ryan Gosling, and “involved in the casting and production process” might just mean writing a series of rambling Tweets to confused casting agents. Let’s consciously uncouple from this whole mess and just remember when Courtney was making excellent music instead.
