Poots Joins Buckley Journey

Imogen Poots will star opposite Penn Badgley in Dan Algrant's "Greetings From Tim Buckley" says Deadline


The movie will center on the days leading up to singer Jeff Buckley's 1991 performance at his father Tim Buckley's tribute concert. "Through a romance with a young woman working at the concert, he comes to understand the father who abandoned him. Culminating in a cathartic performance of his father's most famous song, Jeff's debut stuns the audience and launches his career as one of the greatest young musicians of his time."

Poots plays said woman who meets Jeff and they embark on a four-day journey that changes both their lives.

Buckley Jr. died at the age of 30 in 1997 after he drowned in Tennessee’s Wolf River.
