Christopher Walken will soon be eating bats, snorting fire ants, and dropping acid in a theater near you. According to ABC News, Walken has signed on for a cameo role as Ozzy Osbourne in the upcoming Motley Crue biopic “The Dirt,” based on the 2001 book by the same name:
“The Dirt: Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band” set new limits in tell-all confessionals. The 448-page tome catalogues the drug and alcohol abuse, nasty infighting, and sex parties of Neil and band mates Tommy Lee, Mick Mars and Nikki Sixx.
The film, announced in April, is now in preproduction and is expected to be released in 2008 by Paramount and MTV. It’s been billed as a true-life version of “This Is Spinal Tap.”
If that’s the case, we’re particularly looking forward to the scene in which Vince Neil and his bandmates (each of whom will be played by unknowns) prance around their eighteen-inch model of Stonehenge onstage…assuming, of course, that they succeed in actually finding the stage in the first place.
