Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne’s love story is headed to the big screen.
A biopic based on the longtime couple is coming from Sony Pictures, Variety reported, and Oscar nominee Lee Hall (“Billy Elliot”) will write the screenplay.
“Our relationship at times was often wild, insane and dangerous but it was our undying love that kept us together,” said Sharon, 69, in a statement. “We’re thrilled to partner with Sony Pictures and Polygram to bring our story to the screen.”
Sharon and two of her children, Jack and Aimée, are producing the film via their label Osbourne Media.
Many songs from Ozzy’s rock band Black Sabbath as well as from his solo career will play a huge role in the movie.
The biopic will chronicle Ozzy, 72, and Sharon’s relationship and how they fell in love. The pair have been married since 1982 after dating for three years.
Their family’s antics were immortalized once before during their MTV reality show, “The Osbournes.” The series aired from 2002 until 2005 and featured a look into the domestic life of the heavy metal singer and his family. Jack, 35, and the couple’s other daughter, 36-year-old Kelly, appeared heavily in the show.
However, despite the series being one of MTV’s most-watched at the time of its premiere, Aimée, 38, refused to have any part of the production.
She explained last year her reasonings for not appearing on the reality show in an interview with New York’s Q1043 radio program.
“For me, I had grown up around having a pretty well-known dad anyway, and … I always really valued my privacy within that family,” Aimée said.
The musician continued, “And for me personally, and for who I am, you know, as far as morally and also just to give myself a chance to actually develop into a human being as opposed to just being remembered for being a teenager, it didn’t really line up with what I saw my future as.”
“It definitely worked great for the rest of my family, but for me, and who I am, I just knew it was never something that I would have been able to consider realistically,” Aimée added. “Weirdly, I think I was more mature then than I am now.”
