Comments on: ‘Last King Of Scotland’ Star To Play Kurt Cobain? https://staging2.theplaylist.net/last-king-of-scotland-star-to-play-kur-20071026/ Fri, 06 Nov 2020 02:01:38 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: rodrigoperez https://staging2.theplaylist.net/last-king-of-scotland-star-to-play-kur-20071026/#comment-3564 Sun, 11 Jan 2009 21:19:00 +0000 http://theplaylist.wpengine.com/?p=11760#comment-3564 Michael Pitt already kind of did Cobain once and he did a pretty great job actually even though it was only loosely based on the character (though let’s face it, it’s basically him).

Strange thing is…he recently played Mark David Chapman in a film about Mark David Chapman and the assassination of John Lennon. I believe The title of the film is “Chapter 27”, correct me if i’m wrong. This film was interesting, and pays homage to Martin Scorcese’s “Taxi Driver”…

Because of this film, I feel like it’d almost be too predictable and an awkward contrast if he were to take the part of Kurt Cobain in the aforementioned biopic-in-progress.

I have no opinion on James Macavoy, I’m not too familiar with his acting…I will admit that some of the photos of him show a vague resemblance to Kurt, but I remain ambivalent as to whether or not he–or ANYONE else is fit to play the part of Kurt Cobain in a major motion picture biopic.

If an individual can be as passionate and true to character as Joaquin Phoenix was in the Johnny Cash biopic, “Walk the Line”, then I will consider watching the Cobain/Nirvana biopic.

He is the same height (almost 5’10 just like Kurt), has similar enough features, and has the acting chops and music abilities to pull it off. Kurt died at 27, so he is a little older but it’s not a noticeable difference. I’d watch that movie.

What’s a ‘douchechoad’, please? Sorry, I’m german and I couldn’t figure out any meaning of this word, not even on several ‘Slang Phrases’ sites. But I kind of sense that it’s not very nice.

You don’t like him, that’s okay. I don’t wanna make you change your mind, I won’t even try it. You have your favourites, I have mine.
BUT DON’T CALL ME NUTS BECAUSE JARED LETO IS ONE OF MINE!!! LOL!

But i do think you’re on crack. Ok, Leto IS a good actor, but HE is a total douchechoad and his music is an abomination.

You’ll never get me to think otherwise. 😉

Jared Leto is an exceptionally gifted actor (and musician), it has nothing to do with the gossip that’s around him. We have to separate here, don’t you think so?

Thanks by the way that you’ve posted my comment even if you obviously don’t agree with me 😉

erroneous information that James McAvoy will play Kurt Cobain because the perfect choice to play this role is Jared Leto.

Plus i love “The 25th Hour,” but yes, it’s kind amusing to poke fun at a guy who is writing Wolverine and then a Kur biopic, no?

“Last Days” is… a’ight.

Couldn’t be worse than Last Days, that movie that really wasn’t about Cobain except for the fact that it was, right?
