WARRANT - Cherry Pie Guy Biopic On Jani Lane Moving Ahead
September 11, 2012, 12 years ago
According to Paparazzi Daily, a biopic about the life of WARRANT’s front-man Jani Lane is finally moving forward. Cherry Pie Guy will begin with Jani arriving in Hollywood in the spring of ’85 and struggling before becoming the lead singer of Warrant. Warrant would go on to become the biggest draw on the “ sunset strip” breaking Van Halen’s attendance record at a club called Gazzari’s.
Radio personality/comedian Jeff Dandurand will portray Jani and also direct the film. “I want people to know how serious Lane was as a songwriter and also see how out of control he got when he used alcohol and drugs”, says Dandurand.
Lane was found dead at the Comfort Inn hotel in Woodland Hills, CA on August 11th, 2011. The L.A. Coroner's Office concluded he had suffered from acute ethanol poisoning. Investigators found a half-empty bottle of vodka and prescription medication in the motel room where Lane died.
