In a recent appearance on Marc Maron's WTF podcast (via TheWrap), Courtney Love claimed that Brad Pitt fired her from Fight Club.
after Love didn’t allow him to play Kurt Cobain in a biopic.
“I get the role, so the lawyers have called the lawyers — this is my role,” Love said. “We’d done all these table reads, I’d gone to work privately with David, and I get this phone call and it’s from Gus Van Sant, and Gus is having lunch with Brad Pitt … he goes, ‘Brad really wants to do a movie about music.'”
“It was like the hellmouth opened, oh my God, ‘We wanna do it about Kurt!’ And 22 years later I still kick myself for not having the shark instinct to be like, ‘Sure,’ and f–k ‘em later. I went nuclear. ‘I don’t do Faust, who the f–k do you think you are?!'” “Edward gets home, he starts sobbing — his mother had just died, so it was very much allowed — but he was like, ‘I don’t have the power’ … My landline rang and it was David Fincher. I knew it was gonna be him. By the way, God bless Helena Bonham Carter. She’s a genius. I’ve never seen that film … And yeah, he fired me because I wouldn’t let Brad play Kurt.”
