Plans are underway to turn the best-seller biography of Motley Crue, 'The Dirt', into a movie.
The Crue's Nikki Sixx told Reuters, "We're trying to get them (MTV Films and Paramount) out of the way to make this movie that should have been made a long time ago. They are not the right partner.""Isn't it a shame that the soundtrack and book are at the top the charts and even when a guy like David Fincher wants to make the film, they still can't figure out how to make it happen? There's been a revolving door of executives hired and fired. The fans want the film. Van Toffler should worry less about his manicures and facials and more about artists and directors. For the benefit of the creative community, MTV Films should be dismantled. All of the fans who keep asking for the film should email Sumner Redstone and let him know how to get this movie made while we have the soundtrack to the book all over the streets, airwaves and charts - it's just stupid."
The Dirt was the basis for the songs from the new Crue album 'Saints of Los Angeles'.
The album is set to debut in the Top 5 of this week's Billboard chart.
