Jeff Buckley biopic in the works

Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
The bullet points of Jeff Buckley’s life story speak to its obvious built-in biopic appeal: A rootless youth in California that led to an equally wandering, poetic existence scraping by in New York cafes; an appropriately filmic, big “debut” moment at a tribute to the estranged, similarly famous father he never knew; a swift rise to fame, followed by a retreat from the stage into self-imposed anonymous gigs after he became disillusioned with the pressures of stardom; and finally, an early death at the age of 30 as he swam out into a river singing a Led Zeppelin song he loved, then vanished in the wake of a passing boat. You couldn't ask for a more cinematic climactic scene.
