Arquette Is Buckley's Mom

Patricia Arquette has agreed to cameo as the mother of Jeff Buckley in the Untitled Biopic about the late musician reports Variety.

Buckley (played here by Reeve Carney who starred in the famously troubled stage production "Spider-Man:Turn Off The Dark") emerged on the club scene in New York City in the early 1990s and recorded his only studio album in 1994. After two years of touring, Buckley had begun work on his second album when he drowned in a boating accident in 1997 at the age of thirty. Since his death, his work has gone on to achieve success

Director Jake Scott (Welcome to the Rileys, son of Ridley Scott) will call action here having been granted full access to Buckley’s catalog of music by his mother, Mary Guibert.

Ryan Jaffe wrote the script.

Guibert serves as executive producer, while Orian Williams and Michelle Sy will produce.

Production kicks off this Spring in New York City and Memphis.

This is not to be confused with Daniel Algrant's rival project "Greetings From Tim Buckley" which stars Penn Badgley as Buckley who reconnects with his estranged father Tim Buckley by singing at a tribute concert for his folk-singer dad and co-stars Imogen Poots.
