Producers began casting for the upcoming film version of the Motley Crue autobiography The Dirt. In an interesting casting move, the director chose Christopher Walken in the role of Ozzy Osbourne. Walken will re-enact the infamous incident in which Ozzy snorts a line of ants off the ground in a quest to out-gross his tour mates.
The casting directors also chose Val Kilmer for the role of David Lee Roth, but they are still looking for actors to play Motley members. Its rumored all unknown actors will play the roles of Nikki Sixx, Mick Mars, Tommy Lee, and Vince Neil.
I'm not a fan of The Crue, but that book was awesome. (Even though there were some boring parts.) I'll probably be seeing this in the theatre when it comes out.
it was always rumoured that johnny knoxville was going to be tommy lee.
hopefully they will make this thing a really funny comedy and not try for some kind of serious docudrama thing.
i cant wait to see walken snorting up ants off of a popsicle
