In 2020, news emerged about the development of a biographical film detailing the turbulent relationship between Ozzy Osbourne and his wife/manager Sharon Osbourne. Although there hasn’t been much information released since then, the Osbourne family, including their children Jack and Kelly, have expressed their opinions regarding potential actors to portray the lead roles.
As for when the movie may come out, Ozzy expressed:
“By the time they finish this film, I’ll be dead… I wanna be alive to f*cking see it.”
Jack expressed who he wants to play in the role of Ozzy in the movie:
“You know who I want to play dad? Bill Hader… Everyone thinks I’m f*cking crazy until I show a side-by-side picture, [not to mention] that guy’s ability to morph [into a character].”
Jack then showed a photo of Hader, to which Ozzy exclaimed:
“F*ck off!”
Details Of The Biopic
Sharon Osbourne and her children Jack and Aimée are producing the film through their label, Osbourne Media, which was also behind the Showtime documentary ‘God Bless Ozzy Osbourne’ and A&E’s ‘Biography: The Nine Lives Of Ozzy Osbourne.’ Michele Anthony and David Blackman from Polygram Entertainment are also involved in the production. Andrea Giannetti is overseeing development for Sony. Variety reported that music from Black Sabbath and Ozzy’s solo career will be featured in the film.
In 2020, Ozzy expressed about the biopic:
“From what I understand, it’s about Sharon and I and our relationship. It’s how we met, fell in love, and how we married. She’s my other half. She grew up a lot with me, and I grew up a lot with her.”
As per the original treatment, the movie will primarily center on Ozzy and Sharon’s relationship from 1979 to 1996, spanning a period during which Ozzy was approximately 31 to 48 years old.
