November 2, 2013, 10 years ago
According to a report from Deadline.com, Bad Grandpa director Jeff Tremaine will next helm The Dirt, the long awaited feature film adapted from the MÖTLEY CRÜE biography of the same name. The members of the band — Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and Mick Mars — wrote the book with Neil Strauss. It tells the story of how the quartet rose from playing local clubs on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip to touring the world as global rock stars.
The film will be produced by LBI Entertainment’s Rick Yorn and Julie Yorn, along with 10th Street Entertainment and Erik Olsen. Amanda Adelson is co-producing. Californication scribe Tom Kapinos is polishing the script, and the film is being set up independently by CAA to shoot early next year, with the agency repping domestic distribution rights.

Earlier this year, Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil spoke with the Calgary Herald about the status of The Dirt movie:
"I have really no idea, I kind of stay out of that. I really don’t know. I just can’t tell you anything. I’m kind of tired like most people, tired about talking about it... I just don’t know anything about it. If it comes out, great, if it doesn’t come out, I really don’t care."Go to this location for the complete interview.
