Oren Moverman to Direct Kurt Cobain Biography

Oren Moverman, the director of the Oscar-nominated drama The Messenger is in negotiations to rework the screenplay for Universal Pictures' untitled Kurt Cobain project, according to Billboard.com.

Material on Cobain's life, music and 1994 suicide will come at least partially from Charles R. Cross' 2001 biography, 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.

In 2005, writer-director Gus Van Sant made the fictional rock-and-roll drama Last Days which echoed Cobain's drug-addicted life. Benioff did first-hand research with Cobain's old friends in Aberdeen and Seattle to inform the drafts of his Universal script, according to Billboard.
