Ozzy Osbourne movie biopic gaining momentum: 'It's raw… we're not pulling any punches'
Jack Osbourne has spoken about the film
Last updated 7th Jul 2025
A ‘raw’ movie biopic about the life and legendary career of Ozzy Osbourne is in the works and could hit cinemas in 2027.
Speaking backstage at Black Sabbath's Back to the Beginning concert on Saturday (5th July), Ozzy’s son Jack Osbourne said the script is currently going through a rewrite and a “die-hard” Ozzy fan has been recruited as the director.
"We have the film on the way. We have a lot of good momentum on the Ozzy biopic," Jack revealed.
"We have a director attached now, and the script is done, and Sony Studios is going to be producing it.
“It is about to go through a script rewrite. It's going to be raw. We are not pulling any punches, we are really laying it all out."
Jack continued to Bizarre: "The director is absolutely phenomenal. I can't say who he is, but we are very lucky to have him and he is a die-hard fan.
"If the evil overlords of Hollywood give us the green light, we could be filming in the spring, so maybe it will be out by the summer of 2027."
It’s unclear whether this Ozzy biopic is a different movie to the one Sharon Osbourne has been teasing since 2021, or whether it's a revised version.
Sharon told Variety at the time that the movie will focus on her relationship with Ozzy over a 20 year period.
"It starts the day we meet and will focus on how our lives were totally different but very similar in ways: I was brought up by a powerful, successful father (Black Sabbath, ELO and Small Faces manager Don Arden) and Ozzy was brought up extremely poor and somewhat abused,” Sharon said.
"It's definitely going to be a tearjerker. It's not going to be a sex-and-drugs movie at all. Ozzy is so much more than that. I would hate to be a cliché."
