Brad Pitt

Jeff Buckley's 'Eternal Life' with Robert Pattinson?

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.

"Whoever gets the part will need a lot of self-discipline because they won't be able to fake it," Guibert said in interview. "It's going to take a phenomenal set of skills."

Guibert also added that she has finally come to terms with the idea of there actually being a biopic done on her late son, saying, "I have finally relented against my deep conviction that films about people should never be made until those people are long dead."

And while all indications now seem to show that the biopic is back on course, the script is apparently nowhere near complete, and the film is still in the very early stages, making that possible 2010 release look pretty tentative.

More of Rob in Cannes

More shots of Rob out and about yesterday. Apparently after the photocall and interview, he joined Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at the Inglourious Basterds dinner. Too much hotness at one table. I'm hoping there is a picture floating around somewhere.

Robert Pattinson #1 on Celeb Heat Index

The USA Today reports that Rob has beat out Brad Pitt for the #1 position in their Celebrity Heat Index, saying:

After a steady rise, the 22-year-old Twilight star has hit No. 1 on USA TODAY's Celebrity Heat Index, which measures media exposure. Pattinson is only half of the centerpiece cover image on the current issue of OK! and made No. 1 only on PopSugar.com's list of top stories, but he makes enough appearances in other outlets (TV, online and print) to put him ahead of the pack for the first time.

Pattinson was No. 3 on the index for April, and USA TODAY noted that his star was on the rise as photos from the set of the Twilight sequel, New Moon, began circulating.

And if paparazzi shots weren't enough, Entertainment Tonight aired official behind-the-scenes video from the set on TV and online.

So, we all knew he was HOT and getting HOTTER! But, his Twilight Saga co-star, Kristen Stewart, comes in at #3, so she is on the rise, as well.

Robert Pattinson needs PROPER Representation

From The Boston Phoenix:"Shhh, don’t tellTwilight star Robert Pattinson, but the reportedly smelly, hygeine-challenged actor is not actually a vampire. Of course, that hasn’t stopped this tweenie heartthrob with the Groucho eyebrows from brooding like a fool at every camera in his path. He should enjoy the fame, though; it’s inevitable that a younger Brit fart-throb with even messier hair will take a bite out of this cornball’s (oc)cult of morbid adolescent fandom sometime soon."

Seriously? I'm so tired of hearing all of this BS about Rob. Where the Hell is his "Representation"? Obviously, manager Nick Frenkel and agent, Stephanie Ritz can't seem to take care of his PR needs themselves. So...maybe they ought to see to it that he finds a good Publicist and make it snappy!!!

I guess what this dumbass and others like him don't realize is that these tactics usually just end up backfiring. Considering the ribbing that many other great actors such as Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp also suffered at the hands of the media; somehow they didn't end up being one-hit wonders like this dipshit seems to think Rob will become. Come on people, give the guy a break already!
