Last year, Courtney Love announced that she would move forward with plans to turn Charles R. Cross' Kurt Cobain biography, 'Heavier Than Heaven,' into a feature film. And it seems plans are moving along nicely ... and very much according to her plan.
With Universal Studios behind the project and Love, who was nominated for Best Actress at the 1996 Golden Globes for her role in 'The People vs. Larry Flynt,' playing the part of executive producer, the film is in good structural shape, but its principal players have yet to be decided. Until now.
While rumors that Kirsten Dunst and Ewan McGregor were up for the challenge of playing the modern day Sid and Nancy, it seems that Love has had a change of heart . The Mirror reports that Love reached out to Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Gosling to fill the roles in this film, which she calls a "labor of love." "She is putting her heart and soul into making [the movie] an accurate, credible glimpse of her life with Kurt," a source told the Mirror.

Who cares about washed up cokeheads?

I think Scarlett and Ryan are a perfect choice. They'll totally become Courtney and Kurt!
Even though I think she's a disaster, I think this will be an amazing film. Love was great in "Larry F". She's got talent for acting(not a fan of her singing though)
I bet it'll be as good as "Walk the Line", and "Ray"

I am Bollo, I say I'm a sexy black female but I'm really a fat, ugly man from Kenya. I just think the US is a great place to scam people. Please look at my web site for naked drug addicts who will do anything for money at screw-u dot com. Please check the pictures firstly!

Are you seriously kidding me? A wharf prostitute would be "too good" to be that thing.

Considering her money troubles,it's to her credit she has not allowed a slew of Nirvana movies. She could have cashed in years ago.

I think Scarlett Johansson looks more like Brigitte Nielsen than Courtney Love especially from that picture

What does posting desperate dating site comments have to do with this article? So ANNOYING...and pathetic!

What a crock. Why should these two idiots have a movie made about them? About as pointless as the movie "Sid and Nancy". Snooze fest.

If I were as ugly as Courtney, I would Crwal back under my rock and never come back out!!! She should leave the acting and the singing to the real pro's!!!

Dont you wish we could all be drug addicts and make money - unbelieveable some of the things these movie stars get away with. I got a ticket for driving a lttle fast on the highway first ticket ever in 20+ years of driving. First time driving alone on the highway following the speed of others - I get stopped thrown in jail ready to be charged with a felony - took me a year of big $ to save myself from going to jail and big fines (had to hire a lawyer)- no mercy for the poor hard working girl! Wish I could get away with a lil bit now & then!
