Emerging Pictures and Vimeo have released the trailer and poster for the upcoming docudrama Soaked in Bleach, an examination of the death of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. Soaked in Bleach was directed by Benjamin Statler and focuses on the events leading up to Cobain’s death in 1994 which was quickly ruled a suicide.
There are still fans of Cobain, Nirvana, and others who believe Cobain was actually murdered, and among the supporters of that theory is private investigator Tom Grant. The film spotlights his investigation that began prior to Cobain’s death.
Daniel Roebuck plays Grant, Tyler Bryan is Cobain, and Sarah Scott plays Courtney Love. Soaked in Bleach will be released in theaters and on Vimeo on June 11, 2015.
The Plot:
Soaked in Bleach reveals the events behind Kurt Cobain’s death as seen through the eyes of Tom Grant, the private investigator that was hired by Courtney Love in 1994 to track down her missing husband (Kurt Cobain) only days before his deceased body was found at their Seattle home. Cobain’s death was ruled a suicide by the police (a reported self-inflicted gunshot wound), but doubts have circulated for twenty years as to the legitimacy of this ruling, especially due to the work of Mr. Grant, a former L.A. County Sheriff’s detective, who did his own investigation and determined there was significant empirical and circumstantial evidence to conclude that foul play could very well have occurred.
The film develops as a narrative mystery with cinematic re-creations, interviews with key experts and witnesses and the examination of official artifacts from the 1994 case.
