Acclaimed Filmmaker's Dream Project: Japanese Anime Documentary On MÖTLEY CRÜE

May 24, 2013

Brett Morgen, director of THE ROLLING STONES documentary "Crossfire Hurricane", would love to make an all-anime version of MÖTLEY CRÜE's story.

Morgen, whose next project is a documentary on the late NIRVANA leader Kurt Cobain, tells World Entertainment News Network: "A dream project of mine is to do a Japanese anime documentary on MÖTLEY CRÜE. That will give me my 1970s, 1980s and 1990s trilogy with the STONES, MÖTLEY CRÜE and Kurt."

It was reported in 2008 that MÖTLEY CRÜE was trying to extricate itself from a deal with MTV Films, a division of Paramount Pictures, to make a film version of the band's biography, "The Dirt: Confessions Of The World's Most Notorious Rock Band".

A deal was first announced for the film version in 2006 but has since gone nowhere. Bassist Nikki Sixx told Reuters that MTV was "a channel that used to be hip and has now actually become unhip...They are not the right partner."

Asked about the current status of "The Dirt" movie, MÖTLEY CRÜE singer Vince Neil told the Calgary Herald earlier this month: "I have really no idea, I kind of stay out of that. I really don't know. I just can't tell you anything."

He continued: "I'm kind of tired like most people, tired about talking about it. . . . I just don't know anything about it. If it comes out, great, if it doesn't come out, I really don't care."
