It seems that the much-talked-about Jeff Buckley biopic might finally see the light of day!  Now comes the hard part: who will play Jeff in the adaptation of “Dream Brother?”  (Great book, I highly recommend it!)  Rob wants the role and is included in the short list of possible leads, which also includes James Franco, James Marsden, and Jared Leto.  While I love Rob, I actually think Franco is better fitted to the role.  What do you guys think?  I’m really interested in hearing your opinions!

“As Jeff Buckley fanatics likely already know, a biopic on the late singer-songwriter has been brewing for years. Several attempts have been made — one even by Brad Pitt — but so far Buckley’s mother Mary Guibert has put the kibosh on bringing the Buckley tale to the big screen. (To read a detailed history on the failed biopic check out The Playlist’s post about it here.) However, via a report from the Australian press, it appears the film is back on track and could be out as early as 2010.

According to the report, Orian Williams, who produced the biopic Control, about Joy Division’s Ian Curtis, is onboard for the Buckley film, titled Mystery White Boy, as is screenwriter Ryan Jaffe (The Rocker). The real juice here is that the list of possible actors that may play Buckley, which includes names like Jared Leto, James Franco, Robert Pattinson and James Marsden.”
