David Fincher fight club It is an essential movie for movie fans of a certain generation. If you were at a very impressionable age when the Fincher adaptation came out in 1999, there’s a good chance you were influenced by Tyler Durden, the antihero portrayed by Brad Pitt. As we indicated in our summary behind the scenes fight club facts, several actresses were involved in the unconventional love interest role of Marla, who was eventually played by Helena Bonham Carter. Now Courtney Love explains that the role was all hers, until she lost it. She blames Pete.
According to Courtney Love, the notorious musician who had a strong role as an actress, she wanted to adapt Chuck Palahniuk’s first novel fight club into a feature film, mainly because the book had connections going back to the Portland community. While appearing as a guest on WTF Podcast with Marc Maron, Love claims she brought the project to Fincher, and landed the role of Marla — although Love says she and Fincher are “innately terrified” of each other. concept based on what Other directors have said of working with Love. However, I really thought the two designs were breaking new ground with fight club cooperation. It was on fire.
Around 1999, Courtney Love told Maron that she had received a phone call from film director Gus Van Sant, who was having lunch with Brad Pitt when he made the call. It was claimed that two of them were thinking of a scenario for that In the end Brokeback Mountain, but Van Sant quickly pivoted once they got Courtney on the phone. He told Van Sant Love that Pete was keenly pursuing a movie about music. As I continued to relay the events of this call, Love explained:
And then they both got on the phone, and it was like hell opened up. My God. “We want to do this about Kurt (Cobain)!” It’s like 2000. Nobody’s done this before. And 22 years later, I’m still kicking myself for not having the shark instinct to be like, “Sure,” and fuck them later. I went nuclear. “You’re my (fucking) mother, I don’t do Faust… damn you… (screaming noises)”
So yeah, it didn’t go well. And part of me is disappointed, because a 1999-era Kurt Cobain biopic starring Brad Pitt might have been amazing. Cobain was the lead singer/guitarist/songwriter of Nirvana and was married to Courtney Love from 1992 until he committed suicide in 1994 at the age of 27. Gus Fant Sant told his story, sort of, in an abstract feature film and in documentary formsupported by love. Love says in an interview with Marc Maron that she still plans to do a traditional Cobain biography, but wouldn’t elaborate further.
Back to fight club. Courtney Love was, at the time of filming this movie, dating Brad Pitt fight club Co-star, Edward Norton. Some accused Norton of meddling Get Love part Marla. But now Love flips the script and says, at the very least, it was Pete who lost the role of Love. And she explained:
Edward returns home. He starts crying. …and my landline rang. It was David Fincher. And I knew it would be him. I’m like, don’t. No!’ By the way, God bless Helena Bonham Carter. It’s genius. I haven’t seen this movie before. And yes,[Fincher]fired me because I wouldn’t let Brad play Kurt.
Thus, we’ve added a Kurt Cobain biopic starring Brad Pitt to the long list of movies that may have been, but now won’t. That doesn’t stop Courtney Love from continuing to share her opinions, whether she claims to be Scarlett Johansson should play herself in a movieto criticize the poor Olivia Rodrigo album cover. Love tells Maron that she has been working on her first album in years. We’ll see if that helps her get back into the entertainment spotlight.
