In 1997, Jeff Buckley tragically passed away after accidentally drowning in the Wolf River in Tennessee. He was only 30 years old. Now almost 25 years later, a new official Jeff Buckley biopic is in the works, and is being co-produced by the late singer’s mother, giving it support from the Buckley estate who is promising this as the only official dramatization of Jeff s story . The film will be called Everybody Here Wants You .
Buckley will be played by Reeve Carney (Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark, The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do the Time Warp Again) as Variety reports, and filming is set to star later this year.

As if pandemic, economic hardships, political discord and social unrest weren’t enough this past year, some rural areas have also dealt with tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, drought, record heat, record wind, wildfires, blizzards, extreme cold and ice in unexpected places like Texas. It’s like Mother Nature said, “If you think that’s bad, let me really give you something to cry about.”

Deep in the frozen heart of Wisconsin, state wildlife officials allegedly dined like oligarchs, feasting on tens of thousands of dollars worth of caviar and passing around jars of the prized delicacy at team meetings.
Meanwhile, some of their colleagues were working undercover to expose the long-running scheme responsible for the lavish spread, and tipping federal authorities off to a world of clandestine after-hours meetings at state laboratories and five-gallon buckets filled with gleaming fish roe.
