“From what I understand, it’s about Sharon and I and our relationship,” Ozzy told Rolling Stone. “It’s how we met, fell in love, and how we married. She’s my other half. She grew up a lot with me, and I grew up a lot with her. We celebrated 38 years of marriage just recently.”
For her part, Sharon hyped up the concept of the movie while firing shots at the Academy Award-winning Freddie Mercury and Queen biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody.
“I get why they did that, because it was for a younger generation,” she says of the Queen movie's glossy approach. “It was squeaky clean. It was, ‘Those songs will live forever,’ and it turned a whole generation onto Queen’s music that had never heard it before. So with that, it was phenomenal. But I don’t think it was a great movie. They changed the timing [of the story] and everything in it. That’s why it was, like, made ‘nice’ and that’s what made it a Hallmark movie. 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.”
According to Jack Osbourne, the movie is in its “very, very early stages. We have a writer. We said to go from 1979 to 1996. I can’t say too much, but the film is an active development.”
Ultimately, Sharon Osbourne revealed that “I hope it will be a story that everybody can relate to. 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. “It’s not like any other story. It’s not like, ‘rock & roll, crazy, and now I’m a granddad.’ It’s so much more than that.”
