Courtney Love Eyes Johansson, Gosling for 'Heaven'



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.
