In February of this year it was reported that “Quantum of Solace” director Marc Forster(who also helmed, “Stranger Than Fiction” and “The Kite Runner” to name a few) was eyeing the Kurt Cobain biopic that Courtney Love is executive producing (as in thinking about directing it, in “talks” as it were).
Asked by MTV if he was directing the film he answered, “that’s not correct,” and his involvement with the project was just “a rumor.”
Maybe we should be linguists or something, but right after that he basically contradicts himself and says, he hopes the project will be great because“it’s a cool concept.” Well, he must have read it and known something about the project if he knows it’s a cool concept, no? (it’s been written by David Benioff (“The 25 Hour,” “Troy,” and umm, “Wolverine”) Who knows, but it sure sounds like he did have those conversations with the producers at one point.
We’re such sticklers, it might be the death of us one day. Anyhow… Marc Forster, not directing the Kurt Cobain biopic. As you were.
