Jack Osbourne has provided an update on the highly anticipated biographical film about his late father, Ozzy Osbourne. The film’s screenplay is complete, and the production team is currently in talks with potential directors. Jack emphasized that casting discussions are underway for the lead role, though he declined to reveal specific names at this time.
In an interview with E! News, Jack stressed that the film will prioritize what audiences want from the project. He explained that he consistently advocates during production meetings to ensure the movie resonates with fans rather than taking an overly experimental artistic approach. The project, being developed with Sony, aims to celebrate Ozzy’s legacy in an accessible way.
The biographical film has been in development since 2021, with screenwriter Lee Hall penning the script. The movie is designed to chronicle Ozzy’s remarkable career while highlighting his relationship with his wife Sharon, who serves as a producer on the project. The film represents one of several posthumous ventures the Osbourne family has undertaken following Ozzy’s death last year at age 76.
