Kurt Cobain Biopic Gears Up

An untitled Kurt Cobain movie, stalled since 2007, is under new management as Oren Moverman, director of "The Messenger", is in negotiations to rewrite the screenplay and direct the film for Universal Pictures.

The movie will cover Cobain's life, music and untimely death at the age of 27. Material will come from author Charles R. Cross' biography Heavier Than Heaven: A Biography of Kurt Cobain."

This won't be the first time Cobain's life has been the subject of Hollywood glitz. "Last Days", a 2005 film directed by Gus Van Sant, was a fictional movie that drew parallels from the Nirvana front man's life.
