Courtney Love wants James McAvoy to play Kurt Cobain
The Hole singer - who is the widow of the late Nirvana rocker - thinks the Scottish actor would be "great" for the role and if not him then Ryan Gosling.
Speaking about rumours Robert Pattinson is set to play tragic Kurt, she said: "Isn`t that so stupid, who would cast him? That`s just wrong, no offence. 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 - the wife of Sting - will act as her "proxy" in making sure the movie is done "right".
The rocker - who doesn`t think she will ever see the film as it would be too painful for her - claims she will scupper the project if `Moon` producer Trudie declines to be involved.
Courtney, 45, has a 17-year-old daughter Frances Bean with Kurt, who committed suicide in April 1994.
