Video · Focus Features Picks Up Motley Crue Biopic 'The Dirt'

Focus Features is developing the Mötley Crüe biopic The Dirt, picking up a feature package that sees Jeff Tremaine, the helmer of the Jackass movies, attached to direct.
The project is based on The New York Times bestselling autobiography The Dirt: Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band, which was written by Mötley Crüe members Tommy Lee, Vince Neil, Mick Mars, and Nikki Sixx, as well as author Neil Strauss.
The book was a no holds barred account of the iconic 1980s band’s rise to top of the hair metal and rock scene, all while experiencing a guitar case’s worth of drug overdoses, sex with slinky babes, run-ins with the police and in-fighting.
The band members are co-producers on the film. Amanda Adelson is also a co-producer.
