The Spot News: Robert Pattinson Seems Set To Play Jeff Buckley



The Spot News: Robert Pattinson Seems Set To Play Jeff Buckley


Source Bleedingcool.com

In a new interview, Robert Pattinson has dropped a pretty big hint that he’s associated with the project. This comes from Inquirer:

Robert revealed details on another matter that has been drawing a lot of speculation—that he is playing Jeff Buckley in a biopic about the singer-songwriter who drowned in 1997. “I met his mom who’s really great,” he said of Mary Guibert, executive producer of the film reportedly going to be directed by “Welcome to the Rileys” director Jake Scott. That Robert talked to Mary indicate that both are at least exploring the idea. “I don’t know,” he said, then hinted, “It’s really not up to me. I love Jeff’s music. He was amazing.”

I’d imagine it’s his to turn down, at this stage.

In the same article, the interviewer gets the best info yet on young Mr. Pattinson’s intention to write a screenplay, something somehow derived from some mysterious Lillian Hellman work or another. The article reads:

Robert clarified that his screenplay project is not based on one of Lillian’s novels. “It’s just something Lillian Hellman wrote.” Laughing again, he said, “I can’t really say what it is.”
