Spin Magazine reports:

The web is abuzz today with a tabloid report that Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson will portray the late Nirvana star Kurt Cobain in an upcoming biopic, and that Courtney Love wants Scarlett Johansson to play her — but that’s news to Courtney Love’s manager.

[…]

With regard to the purported casting: “Courtney likes Scarlett Johansson as an actress and as a person, so it wouldn’t surprise me if she wanted her to play her,” Daniel says. “I’m not sure she knows who R Patz is, but he sure is cute.”

The hubbub comes 16 years and a day after Cobain’s body was discovered in his Seattle home.
