Penn Badgley Is Not Jeff Buckley

.

Last week's rumor that the Gossip Girl lad might play the mid-90s crooner have proven false: the eventual bio-pic's producer told the LAT they've never met with Penn and have no idea where these rumors come from, dammit! But that they have met with Robert Pattinson who wants the role. Still they say they're still looking and seem intent on finding an unknown, which is probably how it should be. Even if our poll - which is still running - stayed pretty evenly on the fence with regards to Penn.

Good, Unknown or practically unknown for the win. I'm thinking someone like michiel huisman of Treme and Black Book. I don't know if he can do an American accent at all, but I think he should be the sort of thing they are looking at.

Or how about that Tom Sturridge person?

Michiel Huisman is so hot. HIM.

If R. Patts gets this role, I'll be beyond pissed. Why would ANYONE think he'd make a good Buckley?
Because he can pout sullenly? Ugh.

Robert Pattinson does have a nice bluesy singing voice but I still think he's all wrong for the part. I still think Ethan Peck would do a great job. He has a really nice singing voice and he's great to look at.
