Subject: [MLL] OT: Brad Pitt Seeks to Make Jeff Buckley Biopic

Doing my daily news round-up, came across this bit in the NEW YORK POST's 
Page Six column, which originated in SPIN Magazine, about Brad Pitt looking 
to make a biopic on Buckley which I thought would interest you all. 
Hopefully I'll have some more on this in ZENtertainment early next week, 
along with other goodies like BELLE & SEBASTIAN doing the soundtrack 
for Todd Solondz (Welcome to the Dollhouse)'s next movie...

BRAD: ready to rock 
HUNKY superstar Brad Pitt wants to play a character based on hunky cult 
rocker Jeff Buckley. Pitt has been obsessed for years with portraying the 
darkly romantic crooner, who drowned in Memphis in 1997, reports Spin 
magazine gossip Marc Spitz. Apparently Pitt even contacted Buckley's mother, 
Mary Gulbert, to get permission to use his life story and music for a 
fictional movie, and commissioned British screenwriter Emma Forrest to pen 
the script. "It concerns a Buckley-esque character who's referred to as bThe 
Musician,'" a source tells Spin. "There are a lot of flashback sequences. 
It's not bLa Bamba.'"
