Kurt Cobain Movie May Be To Sad For Courtney Love

Film-maker GUS VAN SANT has mixed emotions about COURTNEY LOVE seeing his new movie LAST DAYS, because he fears the rocker will be upset by scenes depicting her late husband KURT COBAIN's suicide.MICHAEL PITT plays Cobain-esque character BLAKE in the film and though Van Sant feels Love will be thrilled with the actor's loose portrayal of her husband, he fears she won't be able to take scenes of his demise.He says, "We've offered to screen it (the film) for her. She's known that I've been working on this project for a long time, and she's generally very supportive."I want her to see it, but it might be too sad for her to actually watch."Meanwhile SONIC YOUTH legends KIM GORDON and THURSTON MOORE regret allowing tragic rockstar KURT COBAIN to distance himself from them during the 18 months preceding his suicide in 1994.Gordon plays a record executive in upcoming movie LAST DAYS, which is loosely based on the NIRVANA legend's downward spiral.

Gordon, who attempts to persuade doomed fictional rocker BLAKE to change his lifestyle in the film, says, "We didn't have much contact with Kurt that last year and a half; he was pretty much distanced.

"(With the dialogue in the film), I was really thinking about what could have hopefully jolted (Cobain) out of his perspective."

Guitarist Moore, who worked on Last Days as musical adviser, still torments himself by thinking of ways he could have helped Cobain.

He says, "I think anybody who knew Kurt fantasises about some conversation that they could have had with him that might have saved this person from such a tragedy."
