Sharon Osbourne Planning To Turn Her Early Life Story Into Biopic

Sharon Osbourne‘s life story could be coming to the big screen in the near future. The level-headed rockstar wife and manager of Ozzy Osbourne is reportedly working on adapting part of her journey into a biographic film. Sadly for classic rock fans and metalheads, even if the film is eventually made, it won’t include any part of her actual career timeline after meeting Ozzy back in the late 1970s.

In a recent interview with British publication The Sun, the veteran music executive, born Sharon Arden, explained that she plans on moving forward in producing a big-budget film about her early life in hopes of discrediting a rival, unauthorized script which follows a similar storyline. Sharon’s project would share her life story up to the age of 25.

“Of course [Ozzy] takes part in the movie, somebody will play him, but mainly, it’s about my life story up until I met my husband,” she explained to the news outlet. She also went on to explain why she felt the sudden need to put together a film about her life.

“Just before Christmas, somebody said they had seen a movie script written about my life and it was on this website called Blacklist, and that is where writers go with scripts that are available to buy,” Osbourne continued. “So I downloaded it, read it, and it didn’t make sense. Timelines were all crazy … It had no heart, it just wasn’t me … How could somebody do that without asking me first?”

That inauthentic and unauthorized script is reportedly being considered to be made into a film by Universal Pictures. Thus far, Osbourne has asked acclaimed Hollywood director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, 127 Hours) to come on and lead the film.

In addition to helping launch Ozzy’s hall-of-fame-worthy solo career back in the early 1980s, she was also a pioneer in reality television. Osbourne was a key figure in rebranding her family as proto-Kardashian television stars with their hit show, The Osbournes, which successfully ran on MTV for four seasons from 2002-2005. She also helped her husband launch what would become his very financially successful Ozzfest festival tour beginning back in 1996.

The report also states that Osbourne had been in on the early stages on penning a book about her 36-year-marriage to Ozzy (including sharing her stories on surviving family issues ranging from addiction and infidelity) but has since scrapped those plans. She may have no need to spend her time writing a book if she can make more money out of producing a full movie instead.
