David Finch fight club it wasn’t always considered the seminal film it is today. (Edward Norton and Brad Pitt discussed the film booed during the first performances .) However, thanks to home video, Chuck Palahniuk’s adaptation of the novel of the same name has become a hard-to-imagine cult classic with a different plot than it is. Yet one of many behind the scenes fight club deeds is that several actresses applied for the role of Marla’s eccentric lover. Singer-turned-actress Courtney Love has said that her role was all about her until Brad Pitt fired her for refusing to star in a film about her late husband, Kurt Cobain. However, a source close to the film’s production says Love’s claims are unsubstantiated and she wasn’t even offered her role.
A source close to the film’s production said so People that Love may have “auditioned for a role in fight clubbut it was a role he had never been offered at any point.
You can’t get fired for a job you didn’t get. It is known that the roles are decided not by other actors but by the director.
Not so long ago Courtney Love appeared on the popular podcast WTF with Marc Maron , where she shared what Brad Pitt and director Gus Van Sant called her. It was during the conversation that they reportedly said they wanted to make a film about the leader of Nirvana. According to Love, the actor-director called her on the phone in a tone that bordered on blackmailing her. And as he later explained, things didn’t go so well with that conversation. She said:
They both talked on the phone, and it was like the hellmouth opened, and I was like, ‘oh my god’. They said, ‘We want to talk about Kurt.’ It’s like 2000, nobody ever did it. Twenty-two years later, I still blame myself for not having the shark instinct to be “safe” and fuck them later. I went nuclear.
the man on the moon The actress said this interaction with Brad Pitt ultimately led to her firing. she argues fight club director David Fincher called her shortly after her conversation with Pitt and Van Sant and dismissed her on the phone. The actress told Maron:
My landline rang at 6 in the morning, and it was David Fincher, and I knew it was going to be him… and yeah, he fired me, because I didn’t let Brad play Kurt.
Though a source close to the film’s production disputes Courtney Love’s claims, that hasn’t stopped the star from double-crossing her side of the story. The “Faith No More” singer has released a statement. instagram in which he stated that everything he said during the WTF the interview was factual and that she “doesn’t like the way Brad Pitt does business or exercises his power.” She the actress even went so far as to say that Pitt “harassed” her for the chance to produce a Kurt Cobain biopic. She wrote:
I understand what a roulette game this is. I’m not here 22 years later lamenting losing a role in someone’s supporting role in a movie… It was always a secret that was good to keep… The thing is, Brad kept nagging me about Kurt.
Courtney Love also claimed to have brought the fight club Project David Fincher though she says she and Fincher are understandably “terrified” of each other. I guess it’s understandable, from what other directors have talked about working with Love . However, he thought the two creatives were innovating with their collaboration before being fired from the project.
What we can say for sure is that Courtney Love is ready to share her opinions. Let me tell you Scarlett Johansson should play her in a movie or criticism Olivia Rodrigo album covers , the ink is not missing on the perspective of the famous rocker. You’d think that after all this drama the public would be looking for some peace to focus on his latest album, which he’s said Marc Maron is releasing and will be his first in years. Perhaps a musical hit will pave the way for Love to return to the acting world, but in a project without Brad Pitt?
