Gossip Girl actor Penn Badgley has been cast as Jeff Buckley in a new film that will explore the late singer-songwriter’s relationship with his folkie father, Tim Buckley. Rolling Stone reports that the movie, titled Greetings From Tim Buckley, will follow Jeff from his performance at a tribute concert for his deceased dad through the release of his first album and his death from drowning in 1997.
“To play a man who was singularly gifted as an artist, greatly misunderstood and mythologized as a human being … It’s something very special and sacred,” Badgley said in a statement. “I’m going to give all I can to this project.”
The movie will begin shooting in New York City in August. There’s been no word yet on the rest of the cast of Greetings From Tim Buckley.
