Walken to Play Ozzy in New Motley Crue Movie

[ima_drummer2k]

LOL, I might have to check this flick out now! :D

ABC News reports that Christopher Walken has agreed to play Ozzy Osbourne in "The Dirt", a movie based on MÖTLEY CRÜE's controversial 2001 autobiography. CRÜE lead singer Vince Neil told ABC News Radio in an exclusive interview that the 63-year-old Oscar-winning actor will make a cameo appearance as Osbourne in the film, which is now in preproduction and is expected to be released in 2008 by Paramount and MTV. It's been billed as a true-life version of "This Is Spinal Tap". "How funny is that going to be," Neil told ABC's Al Mancini at the opening of Vince Neil Ink, the singer's new tattoo parlor in Las Vegas. Neil said that other stars are going to appear in the film as rock stars, including Val Kilmer as David Lee Roth. "We're doing big, giant cameos with those people," he said. As for Neil and his CRÜE, they'll be played by unknowns. "The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band" set new limits in tell-all confessionals. The 448-page tome catalogues the drug and alcohol abuse, nasty infighting, and sex parties of Neil and band mates Tommy Lee, Mick Mars and Nikki Sixx.

I'm confused. Who the hell gives a s*** about Motley Crue? Do they seriously think people are going to pay money to watch it?

Then again, there are people who think Showgirls was a well acted movie.

MORE COWBELL!!!

The movie is based on "The Dirt," Motley Crue's autobiography. It's a fantastic book. The sheer amount of insane stories within... ultimate. There are several good ones from the tour on which the Crue supported Ozzy. The most infamous, of course, is the "gross out" competition which Ozzy won by lapping up first his own piss and then Nikki Sixx's.

Cocaine's a hell of a drug.

Vince's chicken dance gave me a whole new appreciation for the band.

By the time they're done making the movie, they will all be wearing gold plated diapers.

People who think Motley Crue makes great music are the same people who think Twinkies are one of the five major food groups.

Interesting, I have to add it to my movies NOT to see list.

Instant flop or cult classic... who knows. Val Kilmer as David Lee Roth????

Mostly, dumb blonde chicks and dudes with beer bellies still living like their in the 1980s. Their out there.

Alright, alright. Motley Crue was, for better or for worse, and your own opinion notwithstanding, one of the biggest bands of all time.

Everything that happened with metal in the 80's, Motley Crue did it first. Every band that followed them copied them with varying degrees of success, but virtually none were more popular or influential at that time.

All that, and The Dirt was an awesome read, which is basically the point of this thread. Its one of those true-life books that leaves you completely stunned in places, in a "They-should-SO-be-completely-farking-dead" kind of way.

Like 'em or not, its a hell of a story that more or less proves that truth is WAY stranger than fiction, and I can't wait to see it.
