ABC/Randy HolmesAn Ozzy Osbourne biopic is “absolutely” in the works, according the metal legend’s son, Jack.
During an appearance on Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta‘s podcast The Jasta Show, Jack was asked whether an Ozzy movie could be possible given the success of the Mötley Crüe biopic, The Dirt.
“There is absolutely things in motion right now to make that a reality,” Jack said of the prospective film. “I think in the next few months, you’ll probably see something coming up about it. But we haven’t landed [at a studio] yet. So, fingers crossed.”
As for who he’d want to play himself, Jack says he doesn’t see himself factor into much of the movie’s story.
“I think the time period that we would do it in, I would be a child in it. So…I wouldn’t be so heavily featured,” Jack said. “It’s going to be more about my mom and dad making their way through the world. I would be in the background just being annoying.”
Back in 2018, Sharon Osbourne told Variety that she wanted to make a movie based on her and Ozzy’s early relationship. “It starts the day we meet and will focus on how our lives were totally different but very similar in ways,” Sharon said at the time.
“It’s definitely going to be a tearjerker,” she added. “It’s not going to be a sex-and-drugs movie at all. Ozzy is so much more than that. I would hate to be a cliché.”
