`Quantum` director Marc Forster says no to Kurt Cobain biopic

Marc Forster is looking ahead to �World War Z� and other possible projects following his first James Bond film �Quantum of Solace.� A biopic about Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, though, is not one of those projects, contrary to speculation - blogs MTV.

�That�s not correct,� Forster told MTV News regarding claims that he would step on to direct a Kurt Cobain movie at Universal. The film is reportedly being scripted by �X-Men Origins: Wolverine� screenwriter and former Forster collaborator on �The Kite Runner� David Benioff.

Though Forster brushed off his involvement with the Cobain biopic, which incidentally will not star James McAvoy, as �a rumor,� he expressed high hopes for the picture to be done well.

�It�s a cool concept,� the director said.

Courtney Love is tagged to executive produce the story of her late husband, looking at Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Gosling to reenact their marriage according to a story last year in The Mirror.

This apparently leaves the director�s chair wide open. I personally wouldn�t mind seeing a music obsessive like Cameron Crowe show some interest. Someone could always check with �Walk the Line� director James Mangold, too, if he�s not too busy with his new Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz rom.
