Love clearly desires to make a Kurt Cobain movie now and mentioned she has the right filmmaker in <strong>Todd Phillips<\/strong>, however he ultimately handed. Love first revealed {that a} documentary about her is being made\u2014seemingly not a standard cradle-to-grave one and extra in regards to the making of her upcoming document\u2014after which segued into her Todd Phillips story, apparently loving him for a lot of of his works, however primarily what he and <strong>Joaquin Phoenix<\/strong> did on \u201c<strong>Joker<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted Todd Phillips to do [the] Kurt [Cobain] movie,\u201d she mentioned. \u201cI felt like if anybody could handle Kurt, if he could handle Joaquin in that f*cking situation and not die, either of them\u2026[then he could handle the Cobain movie].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI bugged him about doing Kurt; I didn\u2019t feel like anybody else [could do it].
