Former Guns n Roses drummer Matt Sorum has opened up the possibilty of a new biopic about the band after revealing he is in talks with ‘a couple of pretty big people’ about a screenplay for the project.
“I’ve talked about doing a screenplay, and that’s actually something that I’m in talks about with a couple of pretty big people,” Sorum told VH1.
“If you look at rock and roll movies, they’ve never been done right. If there was a film about Guns N’ Roses, the thing about Guns N’ Roses that was different than all the butt rock bands in Hollywood was that it was down and dirty and punk rock and real.”
“As much as anyone wants to say they want to try to lump it in with hair metal, it never was because it was a different kind of energy. There was a much sort of more street, dark undercurrent happening that could be great on film.”
Matt Sorum was a part of the Guns n Roses induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame last week, when the band performed a selection of tracks from ‘Appetite For Destruction‘ despite Axl Rose and former guitarist Izzy Stradlin choosing to stay away.
