In a new interview with SleazeRoxx.com, Nikki Sixx hinted at putting the band on ice once their long-awaited movie, The Dirt, is completed.

Sixx: "I don't think this band was meant to last and we've lasted way longer than anyone ever expected us to. For us it's about trying to find the right time to end it (the band) correctly. We've had that talk as a band and even in the last year or so we've spoken that at some time we're going to want to wrap this up. I feel really proud of the band but we are taking steps to finish the movie and when we do we'll look at that time. When the movie comes out it'll be time to finish on a high note, on a positive, and not like we're breaking up. I think that's a good thing and will probably put us about 35-years which is a long time for a rock band which is cool. We're not sad, we're happy."

It is ten years since The Dirt hit stores as a blockbuster collective autobiography which immediately saw the Hollywood studios circle the wagons but the project is now picking up speed to hit the big screen says Sixx.

"Everything is moving forward really quickly," he insists cautiously. "The best thing I feel would be to find a young, hungry bunch of actors which want to go all the way out and they will own it. People always say how great it would be to have 'so and so' in the movie but I think the actors should be unknown names instead of seeing an actor who you recognise from playing several parts and then you could see them as one of us. It won't be easy to get everything from the book into the movie and that's where we're at right now. We've met with the director and the production company and we're very excited but it's nothing I can really talk about right now but when we get the green light to talk about it we'll talk about it all day long."

As previously reported, according to Robin Leach from the Las Vegas Sun, Mötley Crüe vocalist Vince Neil says he is seriously contemplating a split from the band after their run of concerts at the Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel from February 3-19. “It’s not definite, but I am thinking seriously about it,” the Las Vegas resident said.

The news that Vince might be calling it quits comes on the heels of his 50th birthday this year, obtaining final divorce papers from his ex-wife Lia this past weekend and a long year of international touring with both Mötley Crüe and his solo band.

“This is all about me thinking about the second half of my life," Neil added, "thinking about my future, and that future might not include Mötley Crüe after Vegas. There are so many opportunities that are in front of me that I’m really excited about. I just don’t want to look back later in life and regret that I didn’t pursue them."
