Actor Denies Being Cast As KURT COBAIN

December 7, 2007

The Pulse of Radio reports that the actor recently hyped to play late NIRVANA frontman Kurt Cobain in an upcoming film biography is apparently unaware of getting the job. According to MTV.com, Scottish actor James McAvoy was asked about playing Cobain and replied, "People have been saying that to be, but I haven't heard anything about it. No." The yet-to-be-titled film will reportedly be based on the book "Heavier Than Heaven", a biography of Cobain written by Charles Cross. Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, is an executive producer on the film.

McAvoy is best known for roles in "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" and "The Last King of Scotland". He stars with Keira Knightley in the new drama "Atonement", which opens in limited release on Friday (December 7).

A film called "Kurt Cobain: About A Son", in which images of the places where the singer and guitarist lived are set to actual recordings of his voice, played in limited release earlier this year.

Cobain shot himself to death in April of 1994.
