Hollywood has been mulling over movies about Nirvana frontman since 1994. By Adam Rosenberg Kurt Cobain Photo: Kevin Mazur/WireImage In the 16 years since Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain was found dead on April 5, 1994, numerous attempts have been made to recount his too-short life in film. “Milk” director Gus Van Sant came the closest, modeling the lead character (played by Michael Pitt) in 2005’s “Last Days” after Cobain. A handful of documentaries have also recounted his tragic tale. The next hope for Nirvana fans who would like to see the fallen musician immortalized on the big screen is an untitled biopic that is said to be based largely on “Heavier Than Heaven,” a 2001 biography by Charles R. Cross. “Quantum of Solace” director Marc Forster was at one point rumored to be helming the biopic, though the gig has since passed to “The Messenger” director Oren Moverman . When MTV News spoke with Moverman in February, he set the record straight. “There is a script from David Benioff that is about Kurt Cobain, and I’m in negotiations to polish it and then direct it, but it’s not a done deal deal yet,” he said. “It’s in the works and hopefully it will work out.” Moverman added that Benioff’s script does not lean as much on “Heavier Than Heaven” as some initially thought. “That book has a lot of information, so, yeah, it’s definitely a great resource. But a lot of [the script] is also based on David Benioff’s research and creative flourishes,” he explained. “To tell you the truth, it’s so early in the process, it would be not right for me to try to guess what the film will be before I start to actually attack it, before I’m officially on it.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

A lawsuit filed against rocker Courtney Love by American Express is set to move ahead. A Los Angeles judge has set a mid-December date for a status conference in litigation between Love and the credit card company, which alleges she owes more than $300,000 in unpaid charges and other fees. The complaint, filed in late May in LA’s US District Court, contends that the 45-year-old widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain “has failed and refused to make the payments” on her Amex Gold card.

‘There’s a lot of stuff on [ Brand New Eyes ] that’s quieter, so we wanted a place to show that new side of us off,’ Hayley Williams says. By James Montgomery Paramore’s Hayley Williams Photo: MTV Paramore ‘s Brand New Eyes is a full-tilt rollercoaster of an album, snarling and booming one minute, hushed and fragile the next. And while the blaring side is what the band is known for — check current hit single “Ignorance” for proof (and older staples like “Misery Business” and “Crushcrushcrush,” for that matter) — it’s the quiet stuff that Paramore have really fallen in love with over the past year.
