Perhaps not everyone knows, but Courtney Love was fired from The Fighting Club. The rocker, singer, actress and former member of grunge band Hole says she had the lead role of Marla Singer in David Fincher’s film (the role later played by Helen Bonham Carter).

But during this casting process, he apparently went “nuclear.” Brad Pitt for proposing to star in a film Kurt Cobain directed by Gus Van Sant, and then Pitt got her fired from the film (“I wouldn’t let Brad play Kurt,” Love said. Splendor. Who the hell do you think you are?”).

Love said Pitt had been trying to make a Kurt Cobain movie for decades. “My friend Cameron Crowe told me that Brad Pitt was brought into this world to stalk you because of Kurt, which has been going on since ’96,” he said.

But with time and distance, Love changed her mind. Director Oren Moverman (Crazy time) was close to making a Kurt Cobain movie in the early 2000s. He was officially in talks at one point, Love was on board because he had to approve all of these things and wrote a script. But the director said in a 2011 interview at playlist who eventually abandoned the project.

An “unconventional” screenplay.

Moverman, who has previously written groundbreaking and offbeat rock biopics for Bob Dylan (I’m not there) and Beach Boys singer Brian Wilson (Love & Mercy), said the script was “deeply unconventional”. The study that would have produced it decided to continue for a long time. Love was “heartbroken” when the project was dropped.

Love clearly wants to make a Kurt Cobain movie now, and he said he has the perfect director. It’s Todd Phillips, the director of joker. But Philips was grateful and she didn’t want to make the film. Love first revealed that a documentary was made about her, apparently not a traditional cradle-to-grave documentary, but more about the making of her next record, and then moved on to her romance with Todd Phillips, apparently loving him for many of his it works. , but mostly because of what he and Joaquin Phoenix did joker.

“I wanted Todd Phillips to do Kurt’s movie,” he said. I felt like if anyone could handle Kurt, if he could handle Joaquin in that damn situation and not die, neither of them… then he could handle Cobain’s movie.”

“I proposed to him – keep counting playlist-; It didn’t feel like anyone else could do it. I trust him,” he continued. “He’s thought about it, he’s really thought about it, but I’m no match for Joaquin (and joker 2). Regardless, he was incredibly thoughtful.

Love said she asked Phillips to produce the Cobain film, but he too turned it down. She mentioned that Phillips would be the executive producer of her next documentary, so at least that’s something.

Love named retired Warner Bros. bosses Michael DeLuca and Pam Abdy as the couple he would shoot the film with. Obviously Phillips already has a home at Warner Bros. with his film joker and the trilogy of Did it happen yesterday?so it seems that if Love does that, it will install on WB.
