HBO’S LAST DAYS
Gus Van Sant, whose film Elephant, produced in conjunction with HBO Films, won the Palm d’Or at the Festival de Cannes last year, will reteam with the cable company to dramatize the final days in the life of Kurt Cobain. Filming in New York, Last Days features Michael Pitt, Asia Argento and Lukas Haas, who will improvise from a “loose script”. Harris Savides, returning as d.p., will employ the same “semi-documentary” visual style as Elephant.
