Rotten to Adapt Autobiography for the Big Screen


John Lydon, better known as Johnny Rotten, is reportedly working with director Penelopee Spheeris (Wayne's World) on a movie version of his autobiography, "Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs," which chronicles the rise and fall of the Sex Pistols.

The book, which is set to be reissued in January, 2004, ten years after its original issue... It gets its title from a sigh=n that hung from a hotel that the Sex Pistols once stayed at...

The Sex Pistols only ever needed one album (Nevermind the Bollocks, 1977) to put themselves on the rock map forever... They were more of a slap in the face than Marilyn Manson ever dreamed he could be. Their scathing, satirical, politically-motivated lyrics were far beyond anything that bands were doing at the time...

So... who should play Rotten? Johhny Depp? No... he wants to play Ozzy in a movie... Ewan MacGregor? Nah... Trainspotting was punk enough for him... hmmm... Maybe it will be some no name... Fuck, I'll do it, then...
