Oren Moverman, director of Oscar nominee The Messenger, is negotiating to rework the screenplay and direct an as-yet untitled Kurt Cobain project. "Material on the life, music and 1994 suicide of the Nirvana singer-songwriter will come at least partially from Charles R. Cross’s 2001 Heavier Than Heaven: A Biography of Kurt Cobain. Universal originally purchased the life rights of both Cobain and his widow, Courtney Love, who had already optioned the film rights to the Cross book," according to the Hollywood Reporter's Risky Business blog.
