Jeff Buckley is Mystery White Boy

The screenplay, interestingly, will not be an adaptation of the book Dream Brother: The Lives and Music of Jeff and Tim Buckley, by David Browne, but Sun, according to Guiden on the official site's FAQ about the film, will consult with Browne in writing the script. If you're not familiar with the enigmatic musician and why anyone would care about a movie about him, you can check out the official MySpace site devoted to Buckley, as well as the official website that his mother is deeply involved in maintaining. Buckley's 1994 album, Grace, is listed as one of Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time." An expanded edition of the album was released by Columbia in 2004.

Guiden doesn't speculate on the site about casting yet (though she is insistent that Brad Pitt is not now, nor has he ever been, interested in playing Buckley himself), but no doubt Buckley's many fans out there have their own ideas about who should play the lead role. Buckley was 31 at the time of his death -- there are a lot of actors out there who might fit the bill. Speak up, legions of Buckley fans: Who would you love to see play the part of Buckley in Mystery White Boy, once the script is ready to go?
