Two of the movie's producers, Michelle Sy and Orian Williams, recently spoke to E! Online and said they are 'in the midst of casting' their Jeff Buckley and added that 'every young actor in Hollywood' is after the part.
They added: 'Rob has expressed interest in the project and we did meet with him. There are some actors who make sense, but it's easier to believe when it's more of an unknown.
'We're exploring all options, everyone from big name actors to newcomers to musicians.'
There are currently two Jeff Buckley movies set for release - the one that Sy and Williams are working on and another with Penn Badgley playing the lead role.
