There is a biopic about the iconic Motorhead front man Ian Fraser Kilmister, aka "Lemmy" Kilmister in the works!!!
2020 might suck big time for music, but that doesn't mean it has to suck in the movie industry. Plans are being made to make a biopic about iconic Motorhead front man "Lemmy" Kilmister! It will be screened at the Cannes Film Festival. The film will be titled, simply Lemmy. Motorhead's manager Todd Singerman and Steffan Chirazi are listed as executive producers while the director is Greg Olliver. The three of them produced a 2010 documentary about Lemmy
This new documentary will talk about his life growing up in Stoke-on-Trent, his work as a Jimi Hendrix roadie and his short time in Hawkwind. In an interview, Olliver explains "Everything you've heard about Lemmy is probably true... not because he's embracing rock 'n' roll cliches, but because he was creating them. Marlboro Reds and Jack Daniel's for breakfast, speed for dinner - all true. But behind that steely-eyed facade of rock 'n' roll was also a compelling, complicated and lionhearted man who stayed the course and never gave up playing the music that made him happy. We've been carefully developing this biopic since 2013, making sure to stay true to Lemmy, Motorhead band members Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee, and all the other folks that played important roles in Lemmy's life. This will be a film they will be proud of."
Singerman and Chirazi said in an interview "It is a story of immense cultural importance. If the last five years of his absence has taught us anything, it is that he is more unique than anyone could have ever known because no-one touches the quality and sheer freedom of the man. Greg is a deeply trusted part of our circle, and we are delighted to see this film coming to fruition."
Production on Lemmy is said to start in 2021, but it all comes down to when the movie industry reopens after the coronavirus outbreak.
I'm a girl born in the wrong decade. I belong in the 1960s or the 1970s in my opinion. I bleed tie dye, my theme music is anything 1960s rock or 1970s rock or metal. I'm a hippie through and through. But also a hippie who loves old metal music. I believe that violence never solves anything, so why resort to it to solve problems? With all the wars the world has seen, there should be a clue somewhere in there!
