Patricia Arquette will play the mother of Jeff Buckley in Jake Scott’s biopic, Mystery White Boy.
Arquette will play Mary Guibert, the widow of singer/songwriter Tim Buckley, Jeff Buckley’s father. The size of her role has not yet been announced.
The film is currently in preproduction in Memphis, where Jeff Buckley accidentally drowned in May 1997. He was 30.
Jeff Buckley will be played by Reeve Carney, star of Snow Falling on Cedars and the Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. Carney is also a skilled musician; his band, Carney, opened for U2 and the Arcade Fire at a concert last year.
The cast also features John Patrick Amedori as Michael Tighe, a singer/songwriter who performed and wrote songs with Jeff Buckley.
Like Carney, Jake Scott - the son of Ridley Scott - has music-industry affiliations. He previously directed videos by U2, R.E.M. and Radiohead.
