Robert Pattinson Jeff Buckley
The Twilight actor has reportedly approached producers about depicting the late Hallelujah singer once he completes the last two movies in the vampire franchise.
“I’ve met actors who are keen on the part and Robert was one… The actor must be able to play music and sing, or at least make it believable he can do that,” said producer Michelle Sy.
Pattinson — who sang on the Twilight soundtrack — has already received a vote of confidence from Mary Guibert, Buckley’s mother, amid reports actors including James Franco and James Marsden are also vying for the part.
“Robert is a fine young actor,” Gulbert said. “I’m flattered he’s been linked to the project. When the times comes we’ll give everybody an opportunity to be seen and heard.”
