Remember Neil Strauss’ biography on Mötley Crüe called The Dirt – Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band? Well you’ve read the book (oh you haven’t? No me neither), and soon you can see the film (oh you don’t want to see the movie either? No me too).
Strauss was asked in a brand new interview with MTV.com what the latest is on the film adaptation of The Dirt. He revealed that unfortunately it is still in the works and that they are looking at a few different directors at the moment. Strauss went on further to say that screenwriter, Rich Wilkes, has said who he’d love to see in the film. Wilkes wants Brad Pitt as David Lee Roth, Jared Leto as Vince Neil, Jack Black or Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Ozzy Osbourne, Robert Patrick or Justin Timberlake as their first manager (a guy called Alan Kaufman), Sam Rockwell as Mick Mars, Ashton Kutcher or Russell Brand as Tommy Lee. Wow, sounds totally amazing guys!
For those that can’t wait for the film to come out, here’s a quick prediction for you on what the plot will be like: Some wannabe rock stars will take some obscure substances, then think they’re capable of writing music. Despite failing to write anything noteworthy they will reach a certain level of success, they’ll take more substances, drink some booze, probably drive under the influence, bang a few groupies, then finish the film by taking more heroin “interesting substances.” Alternatively, you could just watch the Tommy Lee/Pamela Anderson sex tape and jack off.
Avatar? The Social Network? Neither of those films will shit on this… More info here.
