The second of two planned Jeff Buckley biopics has found their leading man, and thankfully for me (but probably leaving many teenage girls weeping into their Twilight pillowcases) it isn't Robert Pattinson.
My reason for not wanting him to do it isn't purely because I think he's a bit wet and full of himself, although that is a big part of it. I also, more importantly, don't think he looks anything like the Grace singer.
Last I knew that had a big part to play in whether you got to play someone or not. If it doesn't, then it should in my opinion.
Anyway, moving on from every deluded tweens crush, to the actor who did get the role, relative unknown but quite beautiful Reeve Carney, who does bear quite a resemblance to Buckley, even the musician's own mother, who is executive producer of the film, thinks so. Carney, who has been starring as Spiderman on Broadway and is a musician in his own right, fronting band Carney seems the perfect person for the role, I for one can't wait to see how the film turns out.
