this topic might not be in the right forum so if if it isn't sorry in advance. I read in the newspaper recently that there are plans to film a courtney love biopic (BEFORE a Cobain pic? I know, Iknow ) potentially starring scarlet johansen (what? ) but this is besides the point. this made me wonder. Who would be cast to play the roles of Billy and the other pumpkins? Would they even make an appearance? which actors do you think would play a good Billy, D'arcy, James, or Jimmy?

i think it is in the wrong forum

but...

Love Plans Cobain Biopic
By WENN | Friday, January 12, 2007

HOLLYWOOD - Courtney Love has acquired the rights to Charles Cross' celebrated biography on her late husband Kurt Cobain, Heavier Than Heaven, and plans to turn it into a movie.

Love is now reportedly in talks with a number of top Hollywood studios with a view to immortalizing the Nirvana front man's life on the big screen.

In a posting on her fansite, MoonwashedRose.com, Love revealed the film project is "in an embryonic stage," adding, "(There's) no script and no director attached."

The project will be the first official film about the tragic rocker, who committed suicide in 1995, although moviemaker Gus Van Sant cast actor Michael Pitt as a Cobain look-alike in 2005 movie Last Days, which was widely believed to be the director's unauthorized account of the Nirvana star's life.

its about kurt i think, no pumpkins...

well my source was mistaken! It's a good thing I guess. It would be weird to have a courtney biopic and not a cobain one. I'd love to see the pumpkins get their own biopic, but I doubt it will happen any time soon, if it happens at all.

Ive often thought of a film about the pumpkins; we all know there's enough twists and turns in their story to make it worthwhile. In terms of casting, I always thought Michael Rosenbaum, of Smallville fame, would make an excellent billy in his later years, but I guess hes getting on a bit these days too.
