His crazy JACKASS spin-off BAD GRANDPA is doing surprisingly well at the box-office, however, documentarian Jeff Tremaine is now set to move onto a standard narrative form of filmmaking with a music biopic.
After years of following pranksters on the MTV series and subsequent big-screen entries, Tremaine will follow them up with a look at the notorious 1980s rockers Mötley Crüe. DIRT has been in the works for quite sometime but the adaptation, based on the shocking tell-all book The Dirt: Confessions Of The World’s Most Notorious Rock Band, written by the band alongside author Neil Strauss, now looks to be moving forward with a director in place.
The lives of Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil and Mick Mars will be laid bare. Looking at their infamous drink, sex and drug-fuelled scandals while on the road (and off). Tom Kapinos is currently working on the script for the film set to shoot early next year. Don’t be surprised to see a number of Jackass boys in the cast.
