Penn Badgley [The Gossip Girl] has reportedly signed to play the legendary singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley in Greetings from Tim Buckley. The project is being helmed by Ridley Scott's son Jake Scott. "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," Badgley stated. "I'm going to give all I can to this project." Another Jeff Buckley biopic is in production that is rumored to star Twilight actor Robert Pattinson who is apparently obsessed with playing Buckley in the biopic, allegedly going to any lengths to land the role. Michelle Sy, who is producing the film, requested that the actor who plays Buckley should be able to play guitar and sing.
