Nirvana the Movie - Will Ryan Gosling play Kurt Cobain? Visit Paddy Power Save For Later Posted by Bettingpro Staff 21 Jul 2010 Tweet Related Articles See all Movies news Share it Pin It Ryan Gosling and Scarlett Johansson are being tipped to take the lead roles playing Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love in a biopic about the Nirvana frontman. Paddy Power make The Notebook star Ryan their 5/2 favourite over other big names like James McAvoy, Michael Pitt and Henry Cavill while Scarlett is the 2/1 choice over the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Sienna Miller to play his wild rock-star girlfriend/wife Courtney. One Hollywood heavyweight who is being pretty much ruled out of the running at 66/1 is Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson. The 24-year-old who plays Edward Cullen in the Vampire saga is currently embroiled in a war of words with Love after she said he was “stupid” and “wrong” for the role of Kurt. Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for Paddy Power, told Bettingpro: “Let’s face it, when it comes to a movie about Kurt Cobain Courtney Love’s opinion will count a lot! So far she favours Ryan Gosling and Scarlett Johansson, both of which bear a striking resemblance to the real deal.” Who will play Kurt Cobain? 5/2 Ryan Gosling 11/4 James McAvoy 3/1 Joe Anderson 6/1 Michael Pitt 8/1 Charlie Hunnam 16/1 Matt Smith 16/1 Henry Cavill 20/1 Sam Riley 20/1 Joseph Gordon-Levitt 25/1 Rupert Grint 25/1 Jared Leto 25/1 Orlando Bloom 25/1 Nicholas Hoult 28/1 Sam Worthington 33/1 Zac Efron 33/1 Cillian Murphy 33/1 Michael Fassbender 40/1 Ewan McGregor 40/1 Leonardo Di Caprio 66/1 Robert Pattinson Who will play Courtney Love? 2/1 Scarlett Johansson 3/1 Lindsay Lohan 6/1 Anna Paquin 8/1 Mischa Barton 10/1 Lady GaGa 12/1 Sienna Miller 14/1 Taylor Momsen 18/1 Blake Lively 20/1 Mena Suvari 20/1 Kate Bosworth 20/1 Kate Hudson 25/1 Charlize Theron 33/1 Cameron Diaz 40/1 Miley Cyrus 50/1 Paris Hilton 66/1 Peaches Geldof500/1 Kerry Katona Read our Paddy Power review Get your £250 free bet at Paddypower Like Like Post to wall 3797 Reads All Entertainment News Recent Entertainment Articles Cannes Film Festival Betting – Nicola Kidman fancied for Best Actress22 May 2012Sportsbet.com.au fancy Nicole Kidman’s chances of leaving the Cannes Film Festival with the Best Ac Palme D'Or 2012 betting - Amour (Love) hot favourite20 May 2012Michael Henke's film Amour (Love) is the 3/1 favourite to win the 2012 Palme D'Or in Cannes.
