While we continue to delude ourselves into believing the Keith Moon film will see the light of day, Mr. Crowley put something fresh on the chalkboard for us to think about. A “phenomenal, phenomenal actor” has been cast as Ozzy Osbourne in his upcoming biopic, a project that had been in development for years prior to his death in 2025. Ozzy’s son, Jack Osbourne, relayed the casting news to SiriusXM in a new interview but refused to share any names. “We have a director attached, and we’re doing a rewrite right now,” Jack said, adding that his father approved of the biopic but showed little interest in following its progress. “He just would go, ‘I don’t give a shit. Just tell me when it’s out so I can go see it.’” Jack previously said the film would take place during the 20-year period from 1979 to 1999 — Osbourne’s solo debut, Blizzard of Ozz, was released in 1980 — and would focus heavily on the relationship between Ozzy and his wife, Sharon Osbourne. Jack and Sharon’s dream casting at the time was Bill Hader, which was met with a resounding “fuck off” from the clown prince of rock. Well, since those Beatles biopics sucked up the talent pool of hot and talented U.K. leading men, maybe it will be an American.
