This Lennon movie could have so easily gone off the rails and turned into a shit show of a fan showing off how much he knows about the man's early years. This really looks timely, urgent, and poignant.

I would bet that there's a Cobain movie in the works at one of the studios somewhere but I think we're a number of years off of being ready for it yet. Besides, what is the redeeming message there to make his story urgent? Sounds like a cautionary tale more than anything else.

When it comes to the 90s, I'm more interested in the long-talked-about KRS One movie.

Yeah I agree. That McCartney kid is a great little actor too.. I've seen him a a lot of British stuff…And Helen St. Thomas is still very stunning. The essence of the characters in bio/historical pics is what is important, to speak to the current audience of the time you are in now. This can be said even for stories set in the future.

What if they used this same treatment for a Kurt Cobain story?

this looks WICKED.
i'm also glad they didn't just go for look-a-likes, that never turns out well. you need quality performances to make a good film, not physical resemblance.
more often than not people seem so ready to sacrifice a good performance for appearance, and that's when it all goes to shit.
