Talking to Blender’s audience recently in their “Dear Superstar” (the column readers right in and ask rockers questions which they answer), Nikki Sixx recently answered some questions about the status of their tell-all book, “The Dirt“‘s, cinematic adaptation and frankly, he didn’t sound very optimistic.
“I don’t know [its status] yet,” Sixx told curious Blender readers. “We keep having director problems and script rewrites. It’s a pain in the ass.” Sixx said he wants the film to take some creative risks and not have household names in the parts of the Crue. “I think that we need young, fresh talent – an unknown actor who’s willing to push the envelope and not have people look at a known actor and go, “That isn’t what Tommy would do; that isn’t what Nikki would say.”
And hard-core fans will be slightly disappointed that the adaptation won’t be as salacious and grossly depraved as the book. “It’s definitely an R-rated movie – we’re not going to go for the X.”
Sixx’s newest “hey look at all the crazy shit I did” book, The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star also has a soundtrack full of tunes he did with friends in a band called SiXX: A.M. We barely care enough to type this sentence.
