Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister, one of the most influential musicians of his generation, is to be given the biopic treatment.
Lemmy, which will take a look under the bass strings of the man, who along with Eddie Clarke and Phil Taylor wrote Ace of Spades, will be directed by Greg Olliver, who helmed the 2010 documentary Lemmy.
It will follow Kilmister’s life growing up in Stoke on Trent, becoming a roadie for Jimi Hendrix and a member of seminal psychedelic rock band Hawkwind before establishing Motörhead. The latter is widely considered to have paved the way for bands such as Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax as well as Foo Fighters, whose frontman Dave Grohl famously gave a tribute to Lemmy at his funeral.
The film will be taken to Cannes by Vmi Worldwide, whose Andre Relis will produce alongside Damon Lane. The screenplay was written by Medeni Griffiths with additional writing by Greg Olliver.

New Directors/New Films offers New Yorkers a busy weekend, introducing five features on Saturday and filling Sunday with repeat screenings of several of the first week's offerings. Tomorrow begins in the early afternoon with a program of seven shorts, opening with Clarissa Knoll's Street Vendor Cinema, featuring "energetic auteur practicing his art — and trying to hustle a little cash — in a busy São Paulo shopping area." Ao Scott in the New York Times: "Equipped with a small digital camera, a few crude costumes and a scroll of ready-made backdrops, he invites passers-by to spend a little bit of money to produce and star in their own movies. The results are an exuberant hodgepodge of genres, including an action thriller, a samurai fantasy epic and an astonishing melodrama of race, passion and family honor set on a 19th-century plantation."
