Jeffrey Scott Buckley (Scotty Moorhead) was born in Anaheim, California November 17, 1966 to musicians Tim Buckley and Mary Guibert. Buckley died in a tragic drowning accident in Memphis, Tennessee on May 29, 1997.

He had emerged in New York City’s avant-garde club scene in the 1990s as one of the most remarkable musical artists of his generation, acclaimed by audiences, critics, and fellow musicians alike. His first commercial recording, the four-song EP Live at Sin-é, was released in December 1993 on Columbia Records. The EP captured Buckley, accompanying himself on electric guitar, in a tiny coffeehouse in New York’s East Village, the neighborhood he’d made his home.

By the time of the EP’s release during the fall of 1993, Buckley had already entered the studio with Mick Grondahl (bass), Matt Johnson (drummer), and producer Andy Wallace and recorded seven original songs (including “Grace” and “Last Goodbye”) and three covers (among them Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”, Benjamin Britten’s “Corpus Christi Carol”) that comprised his debut album Grace. Guitarist Michael Tighe became a permanent member of Jeff Buckley’s ensemble and went on to co-write and perform on Grace’s “So Real” just prior to the release of the album.

In early 1994, not long after Live At Sin-é appeared in stores, Jeff Buckley toured clubs, lounges, and coffeehouses in North America as a solo artist from January 15th to March 5th as well as in Europe from March 11th to 22th.

if Pattinson ends up playing Jeff, I will be disgusted. imagine all those Twitards lining up at the cinemas to watch the movie for no other reason than to fawn over Pattinson, with no idea who Jeff even was. ugh

Love Jeff's music. I hope there isn't a movie to cheapen the reality of his life. http://www.last.fm/music/F.+Kleijn/Sweetness

I didn't think the movie was even confirmed, but if it is to be made it has to be James Franco. Striking resemblance and Franco is such a talented actor. Good in everything he's done.

I will be shocked if James Franco can sing even slightly well. C'mon, Daniel Desario? I agree with this: "If it is to happen, it should be someone unknown." But regardless, I won't see it.

..... but, of course, if it only stands between Rob. P. and Franco.. well, it's obvious. How stupid are the moviemakers if they chose Pattinson who has NO resemblance at all, and NO acting skills. And the guy is scary, he gives me the shivers...

I don't want a movie about Jeff. And I certainly don't want to see James Franco(!) portraying him, ugh. I mean Franco is handsome and all, but I can't imagine him as Jeff, not ever. If it is to happen, it should be someone unknown.

Fuxa is right, there's no need to make a movie about Jeff. But i agree that Franco is muuuuuch better for this role.

I don't really see the need for a movie about Jeff, but I'll choose Franco over Pattinson. This shiny vampire would make the movie famous for the wrong reasons, that's disgusting.

Although something that Rob may have going for him is the fact that he has a strong voice

James Franco is legend, you should see him in Freaks and Geeks, also he has experience in biopics, he played James Dean and won a Golden Globe.

I'm passing through a very disturbing period, and his music has been an inspiration. Thank you Jeff.
