Movie Based On OZZY's Memoir Coming?

March 17, 2010

The Pulse of Radio reports: Ozzy Osbourne's recently published memoir, "I Am Ozzy", will be on its way to the big screen next year if Ozzy's wife and manager Sharon has her way. Talking to People magazine, Sharon said, "Next year I want to work on a movie for Ozzy. He's had offers for his book. That lady from 'An Education' could play me — she's fabulous!" The "lady" that Sharon refers to is British actress Carey Mulligan, who was nominated for an Oscar for her starring role as a young schoolgirl seduced by an older man in that independent drama.

Sharon added that talks are already underway to bring Ozzy's best-selling autobiography to the screen.

Johnny Depp has been mentioned in the past as a possible contender to play Ozzy.

Meanwhile, Sharon and daughter Kelly are working on a new TV show called "Osbourne Family Values". After two TV ventures, "The Osbournes" and the short-lived "Osbournes Reloaded", Ozzy himself says he's had enough of TV: "I gotta be honest, I'm not really keen on TV. I mean, I must have watched, like, two episodes of 'The Osbournes'. I just don't like watching myself on TV, I feel geeky."

Ozzy is working on a new album, his first since 2007's "Black Rain", which he plans to release this summer. He's also slated to hit the road with a new version of his annual Ozzfest tour, which was put on ice last year.
