LEMMY: Was a founder of heavy metal.
LATE rock group Motorhead’s legendary frontman Lemmy is set to be the subject of a new biopic detailing his life before joining the heavy metal group.
The ‘Ace of Spades’ hitmaker’s life before he joined the heavy metal legends will be showcased in the upcoming movie, ‘Lemmy’, which is being directed by Greg Olliver, who helmed the 2010 documentary of the same name.
The film aims to show who Lemmy was behind the ‘rock ‘n’ roll façade.’
It will also detail his early life, working as Jimi Hendrix’s roadie and his stint in British rock band Hawkwind.
In a statement the filmmaker said: ”Everything you’ve heard about Lemmy is probably true … not because he was embracing rock ‘n’ roll clichés, but because he was creating them.
”Marlboro Reds and Jack Daniel’s for breakfast.
”But behind that steely-eyed façade of rock ‘n’ roll was also a compelling, complicated and lion-hearted man who stayed the course and never gave up playing the music that made him happy.
The biopic – which has been in the work for seven years – will be produced by Andre Relis and Damon Lane. Whilst Motorhead’s manager, Todd Singerman, is listed as an executive producer with Steffan Chirazi.
