Robert Pattinson and James Franco Face Off for Jeff Buckley Biopic Role

Franco's a ringer!!!

Franco can show emotion, and just looks like buckley, i don't think there is a competition. Robert Pattinsons days in hollywood will expire once the twilight fans go through puberty.

I will kill someone if Robert Pattinson gets this role. Personally, though I love James Franco, I don't want him to get it either. I think it would be best for someone who isn't a "hunk" or a "heartthrob" in hollywood, to land this role. I think an unknown should play him, not someone necessarily with no experience, but definitely an indie actor. And Robert is a DREADFUL singer, not to mention just awful as Edward. But everyone in the Twilight movie has no idea how to act.

hm. i like robert pattinson but i think james franco would be better for this role. plus if the person were to sing, i dont think robert's voice would match up with jeff buckley's anyways:

To Hannah, blind, deaf and dumb - what a way to go through life. I think someone should have musical talent to play Buckley. Pattinson could definitely pull it off.

Gotta give the advantage to Franco on this one. Not only is the resemblance eerie, but he's much closer to Buckley's age at the time of his passing.

Robert Pattinson, hands down. He can do this musically and and physically.

I guess we've only go a few Twitards responding so far? I agree with Hannah, I can't stand Pattinson's voice either. Franco's a better actor, too. Here's my beef, boys and girls - this is TOO SOON. Let Buckley RIP for at least another decade or two before Hollywood makes money off of him, I beg you.

Obvious James Franco...he looks just like him. And it doesnt matter if he can sing or not, its like they are going to use whoever the actor that gets the roles real singing voice. I like Rob and he's a good actor but I think Franco would be the better choice.
