E falei dele ontem, e eis que me chega uma cartinha da mãe dele hoje.

Certo, escrevi pra mãe do Jeff Buckley (a louca), dizendo que o ator definitivo pro papel dele, no roteiro que está sendo escrito, é James Franco. O Tristão da Isolda, o Harry Osborn amigo de Peter Parker, escolha o que quiser.

Daí chegou uma newsletter dela hoje, "dando nos meus dedos" e esclarecendo as coisas:

"Here's the truth about some things you are reading in the press:Jeff Buckley did not drown in the Mississippi River.It was the Wolf River Marina, in Memphis, TN.

Jeff Buckley's death was not "mysterious", related to drugs, alcohol, or suicide.We have a police report, a medical examiner's report, and an eye witness to prove that it was an accidental drowning, and that Mr. Buckley was in a good frame of mind prior to the accident.

Brad Pitt has NEVER asked to portray Jeff Buckley in a feature motion picture.Never. Ever. Period. GET OVER IT, UK press!

Jeff's biopic is not "untitled", no actors have been cast or considered, no production date has been set, no release date has been set.

Mystery White Boy, the movie, is only in the script-writing phase, and will be for the rest of the summer and fall of 2006. Period. No actors will be considered for roles until the script is finished. No production studio will be approached until the script is finished. Any reports to the contrary are erroneous.

Remember: believe only what you hear from me.

A melhor sacada foi a do Brad Pitt. Mesmo ele sendo lindão, what in the world! Tinha que ser na Inglaterra mesmo...

E a velhinha usa emoticons, nunca pensei. Alguém pode ter escrito por ela, lógico, mas EMOTICONS?

Meiga.

De qualquer forma continuo a campanha. Escrevam para newsletter@jeffBuckley.com elegendo James Franco pra interpretar o menino branquelo misterioso.

Hallelujah!
