Kurt Cobain and his band Nirvana started the grunge movement in the 1990s. The band’s musical movement died down, but the memory of the lead singer lives on. Cobain’s suicide in the early 1990s caused some to consider him a martyr. A new picture detailing Cobain’s life may star Twilight star, Robert .

Courtney Love, former wife of Nirvana’s lead singer has kept a film version of his husband’s life from being made until the right actor can be found. Agents for both Love and Robert Pattinson claim that the two have been in constant contact. The twilight star described the chance to play legendary singer Kurt Cobain as his ‘dream role’ according to the nme.com website.

Fans of the Twilight Saga now Robert Pattinson as an actor, but the British-born star always considered himself better suited to the musical stage than the silver screen. Rumors circulate that the role of Courtney Love may be played by Scarlett Johansen.

Author Charles R. Cross already wrote a biography of the late singer’s life, called Heavier than Heaven. The director and writers for the project plan to base the screenplay for the film based on Cobain’s life on the previously released book.
