Love wants Gosling and Johansson for Cobain film
Singer Courtney Love is desperate for actor Ryan Gosling to take on the role of her late husband Kurt Cobain in an "explosive" new movie about his life.
The ex-Hole singer, who is executive producer on the $60m (€40 million) film, has also approached actress Scarlett Johansson to play herself in 'Heavier Than Heaven', based on Charles Cross' biography of the Nirvana frontman's life.
A source tells British newspaper The Mirror: "Kirsten Dunst was rumoured to be in the frame, but Courtney really admires Scarlett and has already sent the contract out for her to sign.
"She wants the best actors to portray them - she will be on set all the time giving Scarlett and Ryan advice on what it was like being one part of the most notorious couples since Sid and Nancy. It will be explosive."
