If all goes according to plan, the Ozzy Osbourne bio-pic will be out in 2028.
Hi son Jack says, “I can tell you this, we are moving ahead. I was on calls [Tuesday] about it, [and] the script is, like, right there. We are good, this movie will absolutely happen…
“We’re full steam ahead. We’re about to start going out and getting a director attached.”
In February, during an appearance on Billy Corgan‘s The Magnificent Others podcast, Jack said, “We’re doing it at Sony Studios [in Culver City, California]. And I’m really kind of in the trenches with that. And it’s funny. Out of all the team assembled on it, with these amazing producers and directors and actors, I’m the least qualified, but everyone just comes to me. I’m the middleman for everyone because if they need questions for my mom or if my mom needs questions for them. So I’ve found myself in this position…and I’m really enjoying the experience and just learning about it.
Asked about the cast, Jack said they “haven’t settled [on all of it]. Initially it was gonna go from kind of my dad as a young man to the kind of mid-’90s, but we’re shrinking it down… In my perfect vision of it, it would be kind of tail end of Black Sabbath, him going solo. [Because] you gotta have the love story. And that’s kind of the main focus of the film, and all the craziness that happened in the early ’80s and Randy‘s [Rhoads] tragic death. But, yeah, it’s an origin story.”
Ozzy died last July 22nd from a heart attack at 76.
