Johnny is being mentioned along with others, to be a possibility for a role in a film about the life of the late Jeff Buckley. (www.JeffBuckley.com) Other actors also under consideration are James Franco, Ryan Gosling, James Marsden...and Robert Pattinson, who apparently REALLY REALLY wants this role. His business team says that this could be the role that would garner Pattison an Oscar nomination. (Are they on drugs, or are they just totally clueless?? Don't they understand that someone has to be a great actor in order to get an Academy Award nomination?)
As far as Johnny, my guess right now would be that his name is being mentioned in the same manner that it's mentioned for every movie that's being discussed. Attaching Johnny's name in the early stages gets the project more notice and possibly more investors if they think there's the possibility that Johnny may star.
