Outspoken proponent of 5150-hold survivors' rights Courtney Love has, according to NME.com, settled on the two actors she think could most accurately bring her tumultuous marriage to life in a movie version of Kurt Cobain biography Heavier Than Heaven. In the part of her Tormented Musical Genius and Voice of a Generation husband, she wisely, if rather safely, elected Ryan Gosling, who in Half Nelson proved how effectively he can crawl into the skin of a barely functioning but brilliant drug addict, and, in Lars and the Real Girl, made it somehow believable that someone could fall in love with a mostly-plastic spouse that required constant propping.

To play herself, Love reportedly chose Scarlett Johansson: While The Nanny Diaries star most certainly has the musical chops, having performed to sell-out Coachella crowds as The Jesus and Mary Chain's "Just Like Honey"-repeating girl, we're not entirely convinced the pouty-lipped ingenue would be able to accurately capture the troubled rocker's wildly modifying looks, or successfully tap the far, demon-prowled reaches of her psyche. Still, Johansson has always been one to rise to the occasion, and should she nail the pivotal scene in which she is called upon to lift her shirt so an unidentified Wendy's patron (Don Cheadle) can suckle on a single bazoombah, this might finally be the project that spells Oscar for the always in-demand actress.
