Walken to Embody Ozzy in Motley Crue’s Autobiographical Flick?

11/7/06, 2:58 pm EST

Finally a biopic casting decision we can get behind. Christopher Walken (who has a history of affiliating himself with musicians — he starred in the Spike Jonze-directed video for Fatboy Slim’s “Weapon of Choice” and as Madonna’s guardian angel in her “Bad Girl” video) will reportedly be playing Ozzy Osbourne in a cameo appearance in forthcoming film The Dirt, based on Motley Crue’s legendary autobiography The Dirt: Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band. It was Crue frontman Vince Neil who broke the news. “How funny is that going to be,” Neil allegedly told ABC News Radio at the Opening of Vince Neil Ink, the singer’s new Las Vegas tattoo parlor. Neil also claims that other rock-related humans (like Val Kilmer as David Lee Roth) will appear in the film as rockstars. “We’re doing big, giant cameos with those people,” Neil reportedly told ABC.

So Christopher Walken has a history of “affiliating” himself with rock bands like Fatboy Slim and Madonna, huh.

It’s hard to decide which of those two is less of a rock band…

(In a Christopher Walken voice)
Hey…Vince…how about I…SNORT…this line…of ANTS?

that sounds thoroughly stupid. i am more interested in seeing mike myers play keith moon, whenever that movie happens.

BIT | 11/7/2006, 4:04 pm EST

Me, too, Ken. Val Kilmer as Elvis in True Romance was cool. And his Jim Morrison was obviously great. So maybe his DLR will be good. Who else can they cram in for cameos?

I think if Christopher Walken called himself the prince of darkness I would have nightmares for years.

Jake | 11/7/2006, 4:34 pm EST

WALKEN!! This is the best news I’ve ever heard in my life.

Space Pen | 11/7/2006, 5:17 pm EST

thats gonna be a bitching movie.

midevil | 11/7/2006, 6:50 pm EST

Why can’t Ozzy play Ozzy???

Candy | 11/7/2006, 7:38 pm EST

I heard from the agent today.. It is not true, folks.

;) | 11/7/2006, 7:51 pm EST

ozzy makes me roll my eyes…christopher walken makes me shudder and want to run away…no i don’t think he’s a good pick

Mandela | 11/7/2006, 8:34 pm EST

arent they both the same age anyway? Christopher really looks older… why not let the younger looking one (ozzy) play a younger looking ozzy?

Chel | 11/7/2006, 11:03 pm EST

It seems that their faces are the opposite shape. Ozzy’s is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom. But Christopher is such a good actor, I believe he could act just like OZZY!

noname | 11/8/2006, 12:29 am EST

I Wwnder who’s gonna play the MC musicians?

Ryan | 11/8/2006, 12:51 am EST

I think Chris jericho from WWE would make a decent Vince Neil.

cousin Joseph | 11/8/2006, 4:05 pm EST

Ronnie Walken is a rock star Ozzy Has been pretending to be one for years.

Kid Champion is Elvis’s fat cross dressing Twin brother in red suede shoes,

Shut Up

Lexie | 11/8/2006, 4:28 pm EST

They had better pick somone good to play Nikki Sixx!

vollage | 11/9/2006, 1:28 am EST

i think walken is great at everything he does, so i wont be surprised if he does a good job, and nothing tops val kilmer as morrison

Mary Clark, Cleveland OH | 11/9/2006, 7:56 pm EST

I think unknown Floridian TOMMY BIGGS is the perfect Vince Neil – The casting director should find him.

Casting Director | 11/10/2006, 12:51 pm EST

This just in…
Vince Neil will be played by Phillip Seymour Hoffman
Mick Mars by Rip Torn
Nikki Six by Joan Rivers
Tommy Lee by Ron Jeremy

T-DOG | 11/10/2006, 6:15 pm EST

I think he said “musicians” but the point still applies! :)

d.s. | 11/11/2006, 10:23 am EST

What is Ozzy Osbourns birth name??

faster_six_string | 11/11/2006, 11:30 am EST

I think they should get someone else to play Ozzie,I don’t think I’m an expert,but Walkin I feel is a bad pick.

OZZIE SUCKS | 11/11/2006, 11:59 pm EST

HE CANT EVEN SING

Add | 11/14/2006, 8:59 am EST

I’m sick of all these biopics. Why don’t they get Ozzy to play Walken in a movie?

If the musicians are still alive, shouldn’t they play themselves?

Denver Dufus | 11/18/2006, 11:12 pm EST

MORE COWBELL!!!!

chris ferrell | 11/20/2006, 10:01 pm EST

it might be great but they better be careful who plays in the movie cause ozzy and motley crue are a handfull of the greatest rockers ever walk the earth.

zac | 11/21/2006, 12:13 pm EST

it should be intresting and hilarious

rebekah | 10/4/2007, 9:15 pm EST

an actor by the name of trevor fehrman who played elias in clerks 2 would be good as either tommy or nikki… he has the look.
