Don't forget to mention Jeff's name in your donation. Together we can help rebuild Haiti. Learn more at http://www.givelove.org/
“The Hope, Love & Healing necklace is the perfect embodiment of what we are trying to bring to Haiti through safe and sustainable housing, sanitation solutions, and water filtration devices.” - Patricia Arquette
Turquoise, soothing blue and natural, is the stone of healing. The sterling silver hand-cast charms bring hope and love to all that wear it.
"When you work on improving sanitation, like we do in Haiti,you start to really see the big picture. Sanitation is the keystone to solving so many problems in the world-- improving public health, reducing child mortality, recycling and reducing waste, and protecting water resources -- and yet no one is really talking about the problem of untreated sewage or the fact that 40 % of the world’s poorest people live without a toilet. The global community needs to commit resources to finding sustainable solutions.” - Patricia Arquette / Co-Founder, GiveLove

ACTOR / MUSICIAN REEVE CARNEY TO STAR IN JEFF BUCKLEY FILM
Jake Scott to Direct Feature Based on Late Musician’s Life
LOS ANGELES, CA, (AUGUST 15TH, 2011) – Actor/singer-songwriter Reeve Carney (Broadway’s Spiderman: Turn off the Dark ) has been cast as Jeff Buckley in the forthcoming “Untitled Jeff Buckley" film, it was announced today by the filmmakers. To be directed by Jake Scott (Welcome to the Rileys), and written by Ryan Jaffe (story by, The Rocker ), the filmmakers hold a robust rights package that includes the exclusive rights to Jeff's music and personal archives, and is fully supported by Buckley’s mother, Mary Guibert, who serves as executive producer. Michelle Sy (Finding Neverland) and Orian Williams (Control) are producing, with Alison Raykovich (Jeff Buckley Music) serving as associate producer. Producers are currently out to additional cast for the project.
The film will chronicle the life of Buckley, one of the most critically acclaimed musical artists of his time, who died tragically at age 30 in a drowning accident in Memphis, Tennessee’s Wolf River. Production will commence in New York and Memphis in November.
Carney currently stars on Broadway as Peter Parker in the high profile production of Spiderman: Turn off the Dark. Reeve also co-starred in Julie Taymor’s THE TEMPEST for Miramax. His current single, "Rise Above 1" , featuring Bono and The Edge (Music From SPIDER-MAN Turn Off The Dark), was performed by the trio on the season finale of American Idol this year. In addition, Reeve and his band Carney opened for U2 on the last stop of the U2 360° tour. Their debut album Mr. Green Vol. 1 is available on DAS Label/Interscope.
"We are over the moon that Reeve has agreed to take on this challenging role. I've seen him perform several times...he's been getting ready for this all his life. It certainly doesn't hurt that he looks so much like Jeff," said Guibert regarding the choice.
Scott commented, “We are excited to have found in Reeve the perfect combination of musical prodigy, impish charm, innate intelligence & sensitivity to play Jeff.”
The as-yet untitled script is based on screenwriter Jaffe’s in-depth examination and research into Buckley’s life, which includes scores of interviews, unlimited access to the Jeff Buckley Estate archives, and Jeff’s personal journals, drawings, and letters. Producers also optioned the book “Dream Brother: The Lives and Music of Jeff and Tim Buckley” by David Browne, for research purposes.
Buckley’s only studio release during his lifetime was the widely acclaimed album Grace, which includes his legendary interpretation of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” and is acknowledged by critics as a modern classic. His momentous posthumous album, Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk, garnered a Grammy nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal for the song “Everybody Here Wants You.” Captivated by the world of music, Buckley lived and breathed it until the last moments of his life. He had said, “I was captured by music at a really early age...It was my mother, it was my father, it was my plaything, my toy. The best thing in my life."
Reeve is represented by Paradigm and David Sonenberg for DAS Communications, Ltd.
We'd like to thank everyone who wrote in to jeffbuckley.com with casting suggestions for the Jeff Buckley role. Despite the high volume of emails we receive, each message is read and given thoughtful consideration. We may not always have time to reply, but we appreciate and respect the opinions of Jeff's loyal fans.
Rumors are swirling since word leaked last week about an assumed project making its way into development based on the life of Tim Buckley that has cast a part for a Jeff-type character. The aforementioned endeavor is not connected with the Estate of Jeff Buckley. The Official Jeff Buckley film, which holds the rights to Jeff's music, is being executive produced by Mary Guibert, and has the support and consultancy of every major character in the true story of Jeff's life.
The production team of our as-yet-untitled official film is still conducting worldwide casting in search of our Jeff, and jeffbuckley.com will be the first place to find out the latest and most accurate information on the official film's developments.

"Jeff, was Jeff... Intensely unique and all so rare..."
Jeff and his band rehearsed at Threshold Studios in NYC, on 41st for many years, right up until his trip to Memphis.
James Walsh of Threshold, tells JBIN, "One of the occasional pleasures I have is relating the history to artists that come in to the studio that cite Jeff as an inspiration in their musical development. Having rehearsed across the hall from him for all those years I have a couple of stories I'd like to share" James recounts some of his experiences working with Jeff at Threshold.
