A biopic about the late Jeff Buckley has been in various early stages of existence for a decade now, but Variety reports the film is now officially going happen, with full support of Buckley's family and estate. It's titled Everybody Here Wants You and it will star Reeve Carney (Hadestown, Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark) who has been long-rumored to be the frontrunner for the part.
Making his feature film directorial debut will be Orian Williams, who has served as producer on Ian Curtis biopic Control, In the Shadow of the Vampire and the upcoming Creation Records movie. Buckley’s mother, Mary Guibert, and Alison Raykovich, manager of his estate, will be executive producers of the film, alongside Tom Butterfield of Culmination Productions, who are producing the film.
