Jack Osbourne Promises That Ozzy Osbourne Biopic Will Be For the People, Not ‘Artsy, Esoteric’

Jack Osbourne has assured that the forthcoming biopic about his father, Ozzy Osbourne, will be centered on the family's values and not lean towards an "artsy, esoteric" approach. In an interview with E! News, Jack explained, "I have this mantra, and I always say it, when in meetings with my mom or doing anything with the family business.

It’s, ‘give the fans what they want.' That’s our people, that’s who we're catering for, that’s what my dad wrote music for, that’s what he toured for, it’s why we did the shows we did." The biopic, being developed by Sony Pictures and Polygram Entertainment in collaboration with the family, has already completed its script, and now the focus is on finding the right director.

Sony Pictures and Polygram Entertainment have also announced a call for directors, but a release date or shooting schedule has yet to be determined. Jack hinted that a name for the lead role is already under consideration, though he declined to disclose it. Back in 2021, it was reported that a movie chronicling Ozzy's 45-year relationship with his wife, Sharon, was in the works with Sony Pictures and Polygram Entertainment, with Oscar-nominee Lee Hall attached to write the script.

The Osbournes' relationship, described by Sharon as "wild, insane and dangerous," was ultimately kept together by their "undying love."
