Oren Moverman, the writer and director of the Oscar nominated The Messenger, has signed on the dotted line to rewrite the screenplay and direct Universal’s untitled Kurt Cobain project. The Risky Business Blog report the news that the script will be partially based on Charles R. Cross’ 2001 biography, “Heavier Than Heaven: A Biography of Kurt Cobain.”
Eric Fellner, Tim Bevan and Graham Larson are producing, while Cobain’s widow Courtney Love is executive producing along with her lawyer Howard Weitzman.
David Benioff (Brothers) was previously attached to the project.
