According to Deadline, a film about Lemmy’s life is being prepared, directed by Greg Oliver, who also directed the documentary “Lemmy” in 2010.
Shooting will begin next year and the plot will follow Lemmy from his childhood, when he was a Hendrix roadie, passing through Hawkwind and of course his career at Motörhead.
It is worth noting that the production team includes the managers of Motörhead, Todd Singerman and Steffan Chirazi.
“Everything you’ve heard about Lemmy is probably true… not because he was embracing rock ‘n’ roll clichés, but because he was creating them,” said Olliver. “Marlboro Reds and Jack Daniel’s for breakfast, speed for dinner — all true. But behind that steely-eyed façade of rock ‘n’ roll was also a compelling, complicated and lion-hearted 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, Motörhead 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’ll be proud of.”
