Is Ozzy Osbourne's Biopic Still Happening After His Death? What to Know — Including Potential Lead Cast Members and Latest Updates

Talks about Ozzy Osbourne's biopic came to light when Variety released an exclusive report in 2021, confirming the untitled project would focus on the rocker and Sharon Osbourne's lives and love story.

But years before the announcement, Sharon already revealed she had been working on developing a film about her and Ozzy's relationship.

"I don't want to do another rock and roll, s--, drugs and money movie about a musician. That's not what I'm doing," she shared with Variety in 2019. "There hasn't been a movie about a woman that actually works on the management side – that's a true story – and somebody that succeeds through the struggle and you come out the other side."

At the time, the music manager said it would cover "everything" before they got married in 1982.

In 2020, Sharon told Rolling Stone she hoped it would be "a story that everybody can relate to."

She continued, "You don't have to be a fan of the music, because it's a story about a survivor. No matter what life throws at you, you pick yourself up and you start again. It's just an amazing story of overcoming everything that's thrown at you in your life."

In addition to Ozzy's rock career and his 43-year marriage to Sharon, the couple's son, Jack Osbourne, reportedly asked the writer to highlight events that took place between 1979 and 1996.

Sharon also teased fans, "Our film will be a lot more real. We don't want it to be squeaky, shiny clean and all of that. We're not making it for kids. It's an adult movie for adults."

Polygram Entertainment is the official production company for Ozzy's biopic, as revealed in the 2021 announcement.

"Our relationship at times was often wild, insane and dangerous but it was our undying love that kept us together. We're thrilled to partner with Sony Pictures and Polygram to bring our story to the screen," said Sharon.

The former The Talk host is producing alongside Jack and Aimée Osbourne via their Osbourne Media label. Meanwhile, Polygram Entertainment's Michele Anthony and David Blackman are also serving as co-producers, while Sony's Andrea Giannetti is overseeing the project based on the Oscar-nominated Billy Elliot's script.

As of press time, Polygram Entertainment and Sony have not named the actor who will portray Ozzy's character. On the other hand, several actors have been linked to the project, including Ozzy's own pick, Denzel Washington.

Meanwhile, Sharon and Kelly Osbourne said they wanted Florence Pugh or "the little girl from Game of Thrones" — Bella Ramsey — to play the matriarch in the biopic.

Following Ozzy's death on July 22, a representative for Polygram Entertainment confirmed they are "currently in negotiations with a director, which could be confirmed very soon."

No release date has been announced.
