Ewan McGregor will play Kurt Cobain in an upcoming film about the musician, according to reports.

The movie will be based on the biography of the late Nirvana frontman by Charles Cross, and McGregor is rumoured to be the number one choice for the lead role.

The film rights to the book have been bought by Cobain's wife Courtney Love, and she will have the main say in the casting of the singer's part.

An inside source told the Daily Express: "A number of actors have been talked about the role but Ewan has emerged as the number one choice."
