E Online: Robert Pattinson Still “Interested” in Jeff Buckley Biopic—Penn Badgley or Not!

Here is what E Online is reporting about Rob’s interest in the much talked about Jeff Buckley Biopic!

OK, let’s clear this up: Despite some confusion yesterday, there are definitely two Jeff Buckley flicks in the works. Hoo-ray!

He was such a cool musician. First, there’s the Penn Badgley version called Greetings From Tim Buckley that we told you about yesterday. Then there’s the official, Buckley-family sanctioned, Untitled Jeff Buckley Film.

We spoke to the grade-A, official project’s producers, Michelle Sy and Orian Williams, and the two told us exclusively that they are still “in the midst of casting” their Jeff Buckley, but that “every young actor in Hollywood” wants the part.

So turns out Robert Pattinson is still in the running for the ripe role. But what did the Twi-guy tell the flick’s producers?

“Rob has expressed interest in the project and we did meet with him,” Sy and Williams tell us. “There are some actors who make sense, but it’s easier to believe when it’s more of an unknown. We’re exploring all options, everyone from big name actors to newcomers to musicians.”
