Jeff Buckley biopic
"23-year-old hottie Robert Pattinson currently is considered to play the lead role on an upcoming biopic about the tragic life of singer/songwriter Jeff Buckley. Competing with him for the chance to portray the role is James Franco, who previously starred as Scott Smith on the 2008 movie "Milk".
There is still no further information about who is chosen to portray the role. On one hand, Pattinson has already proven that he has the singing chops. As for Franco, he "seems to be on a biopic roll", what with the award-winning film "Milk" and his upcoming role as beat poet Allen Ginsberg.
Jeff Buckley gained his popularity in the early 1990s by playing cover songs at venues in Manhattan's East Village. After recruiting his band, he signed with Columbia record label and produce his only studio album "Grace".
At the age of 30, he was found drowning during an evening swim in the Wolf River on May 29, 1997. He allegedly passed away due to drug overdose, but it was proven in an autopsy that he took no illegal drugs before swimming and the incident was considered as accidental drowning."

Okay so maybe a lot of people aren't Jeff Buckley fans or the only song people have heard him sing is Hallelujah but I think the candidates to take his role in the movie might interest you. In my opinion, I'd say James Franco is most suitable for it and I swear, this is said with no bias whatsoever. I mean, I adore Rob, he's Edward Cullen for crying out loud, but there are really no questions about it. James is the man. Or let me consider the qualities they have. Shall we?
First off, let me show you how the late Jeff Buckley looks like.
handsome kan?
Round One: The Face
ok, let us see how close the two actors most resemble Jeff.
This is muy importante people.
Robert Pattinson
His hair and eye colour are lighter than Jeff's but he can always dye them and wear dark-coloured contact lenses. He does have high cheekbones and chiseled features. The brooding looks a bit forced though.
James Franco
The shape of his face is more similar to Jeff's than is Rob's. Has high cheekbones, chiseled features and dark eyes. His real hair colour is brunette/dark brown like Jeff's. The way he broods is more similar.
Winner: James Franco
Round Two: Their Resume
Robert Pattinson
Has played a wizard (was Cedric a wizard?), a vampire (a very enthralling one indeed), a poet.
James Franco
Has played a pilot, James Dean, a villain/superhero, drug dealer, a high school heartthrob, a weirdo, a gay, a junkie, a gigolo, a boxer, Tristan (as in Tristan and Isolde, the couple before Romeo and Juliet) and the list goes on.
Winner: James Franco
This might seem a bit unfair considering Rob's tender age (ceh tender la sgt) of 23 compared to 31 year-old James. But arguably, James has been creative in his choice of roles, thus making fans anticipating on what he'll do next.
Round Three: Other than acting..
Robert Pattinson can sing and play the guitar. He has this rocker side to him.
Plus, Rob's "Never Think" gives me shivers.
James Franco does none of the above.
But, yes there is a but, he can learn and enrole in lessons and pick up the guitar quickly.
Who knows kan kan?
Okay okay I know, bias much?
Winner: Robert Pattinson
Round Four: Their Credibility (this may lead to unfairness)
Robert Pattinson
Yes he is the guy who girls love to love and the guys love to hate. He is considered what most teenage girls in the world would say "smokin hot" as the blood-sucking, human-loving vampire but certain people do wonder, is it all there is? Will he just remain to be one of the many pretty boys in Hollywood? I doubt that. Embodying a character from a book is not an easy job. Kudos to Rob for making Edward Cullen seem real. And lovable. He is still young and has a long way to go. I see great things happening to him in the future. (nape lah poyo sgt ni.)
James Franco
Oh James. James James James.
There are a lot to say about him, yet it's hard to find the right words. Sigh.
He's just perfect you know?
See what I mean by unfairness?
I'm sorry, I can't help myself teehee.
All in all, I think we all know who the winner is.
*drum roll*
It's James Franco everybody.
*clap clap clap*
Rob's fans, don't go on hating me now.
You're allowed to tell me your thoughts!
What do you think?

To be honest, I bet everyone knows James Franco is a bonafide actor. It just depends on whether you like him or not. But there is no doubt when it comes to his charming, rugged good looks, his undeniable talent and down-to-earth nature. Plus, he's much more experienced than Rob. But I'm not downing Rob. He has his tricks up his sleeve too.
All in all, I think we all know who the winner is.
*drum roll*
It's James Franco everybody.
