Robert Pattinson Still "Interested" in Jeff Buckley Biopic—Penn Badgley or Not!

Image
Dennis Van Tine/LFI/ZUMApress.com; Bob Berg/Getty Images OK, let's clear this up: Despite some confusion yesterday, there are definitely two Jeff Buckley flicks in the works. Hoo-ray! He was such a cool musician. First, there's the Penn Badgley version called Greetings From Tim Buckley that we told you about yesterday.  Then there's the official, Buckley-family sanctioned, Untitled Jeff Buckley Film . We spoke to the grade-A, official project's producers, Michelle Sy and Orian Williams , and the two told us exclusively that they are still "in the midst of casting" their Jeff Buckley, but that "every young actor in Hollywood" wants the part. So turns out Robert Pattinson is still in the running for the ripe role. But what did the Twi -guy tell the flick's producers?

Robert Pattinson loses film role to Penn Badgley

He might be one of the hottest actors on the planet right now, but Robert Pattinson has just lost out on a film role Gossip Girl’s Penn Badgley. Rob was keen to land the part of cult musician Jeff Buckley in the new flick Greetings From Tim Buckley - he even had meetings with the film’s producers about the part. But Rob eventually lost out to the Gossip Girl cutie, who is super excited about bagging such a coveted role, "To play a man who was singularly gifted as an artist, greatly misunderstood and mythologized as a human being...It's something very special and sacred. I'm going to give all I can to this project." As well as beating Rob, the lovely Penn also beat James Franco, Jared Leto and James Marsden who were reportedly all keen to star in the film. Of the casting Patrick Milling Smith of Smuggler Films has commented, "In its purest form this is a father and son story, a rite of passage that is made possible by a romantic journey Jeff finds himself on.....

Robert Pattinson Loses Jeff Buckley Role to Penn Badgley!

Ryan Pierse/Getty Images; Bob Berg/Getty Images; Carly Otness/BFAnyc.com Sorry, Robert Pattinson , can't win ‘em all! Despite having expressed interest in auditioning for the role of Jeff Buckley in the new film Greetings From Tim Buckley and even having taken preliminary meetings about the part, looks like our fave Twi-stud has been upset by Gossip guy, Penn Badgley . So what does Badgley have to say about bagging the coveted part? RELATED: Poll: Robert Pattinson's Still in the Jeff Buckley Running...So Who Should Get the Part? "To play a man who was singularly gifted as an artist, greatly misunderstood and mythologized as a human being...It's something very special and sacred. I'm going to give all I can to this project," Badgley said yesterday in a statement released through Smuggler Films. Somewhere, R.Pattz is crying into the guitar he has been schlepping around the world and practicing on everyday. Ya win some, ya lose some, pal. Don't feel too b...

We had a hard time believing Penn would beat out Rob for a role anyway. R.Pattz is still in the running for the role, but things don't look to good, as speculation says flick might cast an unknown. Guess that means we have to start the Pick Rob campaign now, right? __________________________________ Robert Pattinson is a guy who isn't used to hearing "no." The Twilight hunk has been popping out films left and right because, let's face it, casting his oft-scruffy mug is a guarantee that tweens will get in a tizzy no what matter what the par-tick flick is. Remember that total downer Remember Me ? Yup, R.Pattz is pretty much unstoppable. But apparently messy hair, a swoon-worthy accent and a mega-million franchise will only get you so far. 'Cause R. recently...
