MÖTLEY CRÜE Frontman VINCE NEIL Discusses The Dirt Biopic – “This Movie Should Be Out In The Summer Of 2016”

Speaking with Las Vegas Magazine about the end of his band Mötley Crüe, frontman Vince Neil discusses the band’s upcoming biopic, The Dirt.

Q: Has there been talk about when work will start on the Mötley Crüe biopic after the tour is finished?

A: “That’s making movies. Making music and making movies is two different things. We’re involved in it, but… we just got a new script about three or four months ago, the rewrite of the old script, and it’s way, way better. It’s such a great script. This movie should be out in the summer of 2016. It does stay pretty close to The Dirt, so if you’ve read The Dirt it’s really something to look forward to.”

Q: How does it strike you that you’ll be seeing an actor playing you on screen?

A: “That’s gonna be strange. It’s funny, I saw the table read of the last script. They have these different actors playing each person, and even just the table read of the script was weird when the Vince guy was talking (laughs). It wasn’t the guy that’s gonna play me, but it was just kind of weird hearing somebody say your words. It’s a bit of a trip.”

Q: The success of Straight Outta Compton probably has the studio looking at a Mötley Crüe biopic as a little more lucrative than they did before. Does it start with the beginning of the band?

A: “It starts just like The Dirt. The first scene is the first pages of The Dirt, in our apartment in Hollywood. There’s a party going on. That’s where the book starts.”
