Matt Sorum Reveals Guns N Roses Movie Plans
He's in talks about possible screenplays
Gibson reports that in a new interview, the former Guns N Roses drummer says he has talked with "a couple of really big people” about writing a screenplay.
"The only problem with that is figuring out how to work out the music situation,” Sorum said. "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.
"If you look at rock and roll movies, they’ve never been done right,” he said, citing The Doors and the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line as two of the only exceptions.
