Love Wants McAvoy, Not Pattinson, for Cobain Role

James McAvoyCourtney Love wants - not Robert Pattinson -  to play Kurt Cobain in the biopic of his musician’s life.

Cobain’s widow thinks the Scottish actor would be “great” for the role. If not McAvoy, then .

“Isn’t that so stupid, who would cast him? That’s just wrong, no offense,” Courtney said about the Pattinson rumors. “I watched the Twilight stuff very, very recently and I get it, it resonates with the teenage girl in me, I understand epic love of that nature; I write about it all the time. But isn’t that silly?”

The “Celebrity Skin” hitmaker told the Canadian Press she wants casting approval and a say on the script and hopes her producer pal Trudie Styler, Sting’s wife, will act as her “proxy” in making sure the movie is done “right.”

The rocker - who thinks it would be too painful to ever watch the film - claims she will scrap the project altogether if Moon producer Trudie declines to be involved.
