Robert Pattinson wants his lover to come over

If there was ever a person that could surpass fangster Edward Cullen’s deepyness and floppy hair, it’s Jeff Buckley, the dreamy singer songwriter who died unexpectedly from drowning at age 30. Babies have been made to the likes of Buckley’s ballads, which include Lover, You Should’ve Come Over and a popular rendition of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah. Empire reports that Pattinson is desparate to make the ladies swoon all over again as this tragic bard. But can he sing? I just took a trip over to YouTube, and yeah, he may just be able to pull it off.

A biopic about Buckley would introduce his music to new ears, which brings with it all the bittersweet of what could’ve been if we had the man instead of the movie. This potential 2013 project is being entertained by producers Michelle Sy (Finding Neverland) and Orian Williams, who previously worked on the stellar Joy Division biopic, Control. Pattinson reportedly has some competition for the role from James Marsden (pff), Ryan Gosling (now we’re talking), and James Franco, who is almost a dead ringer. Good luck Rob! You’ll need it.
