JEFF BUCKLEY

Jake Scott, son of Ridley, and the man behind the lukewarm Welcome to the Riley's, has been hired to bring about a film about the brilliant but short lived musician Jeff Buckley.


Buckley got his start playing gigs in NYC's lower east side; mainly cover songs, but then slowly branching out into original material. He eventually released his one and only studio album: 'Grace' in 1994, which at the time, didn't have many hits (which obviously means that people were stupid in the mid-90's, since the record is amazing). In late May 1997, while prepping his second album, 'Sketches for my Sweetheart the Drunk,' Buckley went night swimming in Wolf river in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was caught in the wake of a passing boat and ended up drowning.

The film will use David Browne's book 'Dream Brothers: The Lives and Music of Jeff and Tim Buckley' as a resource, while Ryan Jaffe will pen the script. No front runners for the casting yet, but with production expected to begin this fall, we're sure to hear a list of names in the near future.

  1. Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?

    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of hard work due to no backup.
    Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?
