Kurt Cobain Story Hits the Silver Screen
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Universal, Adaptation, Drama, Filmmaking, Scripts, Upcoming Releases
David Benioff (Troy screenwriter) has signed an agreement to write a movie about former Nirvana singer, Kurt Cobain. A Universal project, the movie will be based on the 2001 book Heavier Than Heaven, written by Charles Cross. Details are still up in the air on the film, which may or may not contain an on-screen appearance from Cobain’s widow, Courtney Love. She will, however, serve as an executive producer.
After Cobain’s 1994 death, rumors and innuendo abounded regarding the mysterious circumstances of how he died. Whenever a celebrity is involved, gossip circles will often repeat the same question: ‘Was it murder or suicide?’ From Marilyn to Anna Nicole, no one wants to believe their favorite stars would take their own lives (or attempt to). It’s unknown at this point which side of the story the movie will tell. In any event, it’s a death that will continue to remain question-rich and somewhat unsolved in the minds of fans…like many other Hollywood deaths before and since.

Illegal Aliens: Anna Nicole Smith’s Last Role
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Casting, New Releases
Anna Nicole may be gone, but one last testament to her acting career remains. It’s called Illegal Aliens, and reports say Smith will shine in her comedic role as a sexy, Earth-protecting alien. The movie comes to DVD tomorrow and features a funny, upbeat Smith who’s unafraid to spoof herself for the sake of comedy. Smith and her late son Daniel were producer and associate producer for the flick, which turned out to be Smith’s last. A spoof on action flicks, Illegal Aliens features three crime-fighting chicks who must save Earth. Anna Nicole Smith’s character, Lucy, is a ditzy but beautiful blonde, proving that Smith was unafraid to make fun of even herself. A few of her hilarious moments in the film come when she makes fun of herself. The movie’s initial release was delayed after the unfortunate death of Daniel, Anna Nicole’s only son. Smith’s share of the profits will now go to her young Dannielynn, the only surviving heir of Anna Nicole.
Willa Ford To Play Anna Nicole
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Independent, Casting, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases
Willa Ford may or may not have joined the rest of America in an Anna Nicole obsession, but she will be learning a whole lot more about the former Playmate. If Willa’s name isn’t familiar, it’s because she was on Dancing with the Stars. But Willa’s got a whole new gig, as she’s been cast to play Anna Nicole in the independent movie of the same name. The movie will depict Anna Nicole Smith’s life from age 17 to her untimely death at 39, and will begin shooting in Los Angeles this June. After a month of searching, Willa Ford has been given the role, though the producers say they may cast another actress to depict the different ages of Anna. No other main characters in the life of Smith have yet been cast for the movie, which may air on television instead of in the theatres. The makers of the flick have already stated they will
won’t be showing the “trash” (their word) of Anna Nicole’s life and death, including her marriage to J. Howard Marshall. No one involved with Anna Nicole Smith will receive any monetary compensation or profit from the film. The Nasser brothers, who are making the movie, didn’t buy the rights to Smith’s life story – they didn’t have to, because they’re basing the entire film on the prolific media coverage surrounding Anna Nicole.
