Actor
Robert
Pattinson's
name
is
still
being
considered
as
the
favourite
for
the
role
of
Jeff
Buckley
in
his
biopic.
It
was
reported
earlier
that
Penn
Badgley
was
cast
for
the
lead
role.
But
co-producer
Orion
Williams
has
denied
the
reports
and
said
that
they
have
scheduled
the
preliminary
talks
with
actor
Robert
Pattinson
for
the
role.
According
to
the
movie
bosses,
there
has
not
been
any
official
casting
for
the
role
of
Jeff
Buckley.
Talking
to
the
Los
Angeles
Times,
Orion
Williams
said,
"Penn
is
not
involved
in
the
film
at
all.
It's
crazy
how
these
stories
get
out.
(The
producers)
are
all
very
unified
in
our
search
to
find
the
perfect
person
to
play
Jeff."
Meanwhile,
Robert
Pattinson
is
very
much
obsessed
with
landing
the
role
of
Jeff
Buckley.
Talking
about
the
role,
the
Twilight
star
said,
"When
you
have
a
story
about
an
individual
like
Jeff
you
get
a
lot
of
interest
because
his
life
was
so
impactful
and
so
short.
We're
being
very
careful
about
it
as
we
move
forward.
It
takes
a
while
to
perfect
this
type
of
film.
You've
got
to
do
it
for
the
right
reasons."
The
names
of
James
Franco,
Jared
Leto
and
James
Marsden
are
also
being
considered
for
the
role
of
Jeff
Buckley.
But
it
should
be
seen
who
would
finally
reprise
the
role
in
the
biopic?
