The film was first announced in 2021, and is set to tell the story of the Prince Of Darkness and his wife and manager, Sharon. It is being written by Oscar-nominee Lee Hall (Rocketman, Billy Elliott), and developed by Sony Pictures and Polygram Entertainment.
Last August, it was reported that the project was still in the works after Ozzy died the previous month, aged 76. Jack Osbourne confirmed in January that a “phenomenal” lead actor was attached.
Now, Jack has offered an update on the project via his YouTube channel. “I can tell you this: we are moving ahead,” he said (via Blabbermouth). “I was on calls today about it. The script is right there. We are good. This movie will absolutely happen.”
Regarding the release date, he added: “Realistically — I mean, look, we’re already halfway through ’26 — it probably won’t come out until ’28. But you never know. But, yeah, we’re full steam ahead. We’re about to start going out and getting a director attached. So, fingers crossed. I’m really excited. It’s very much been a labour of love, of course. But, yeah, I’m excited — I’m excited for everyone to see this film.”
The news comes in the wake of another music biopic, Michael, based on the life of The King Of Pop, has broken box office records upon its release, with a sequel already being planned.
