David Benioff has signed on to pen the untitled Kurt Cobain project being developed by Working Title, Reveille Motion Pictures and Universal.
Many of the details of the biopic of the Nirvana frontman still are in early conception stages, so it is unclear what form the narrative would take and how Nirvana music will fit into it. Benioff will use as a reference the 2001 book “Heavier Than Heaven, ” by Charles Cross, which the production recently acquired.
Also unclear is whether Courtney Love, Cobain’s widow, would appear onscreen. Love is on board as executive producer, along with Howard Weitzman, who at one time was vice chairman of Universal Studios and now is an attorney who reps Love.
Working Title’s Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan and Reveille’s Ben Silverman and Graham Larson are on board to produce.
Cobain and his band helped usher the age of grunge rock, and their song “Smells Like Teen Spirit” became the anthem to a generation.
