Plans to make a biopic about the life of late MOTORHEAD bassist and frontman Lemmy Kilmister are underway, with the expectation it will be screened at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.

 
Deadline is reporting that the film, titled simply Lemmy, will be directed by Greg Olliver from a screenplay he co-wrote with Medeni Griffiths

MOTORHEAD’s manager, Todd Singerman, and Steffan Chirazi are listed as the executive producers. Olliver, Chirazi and Singerman collaborated on a 2010 documentary about Kilmister.
 
The new biopic will encompass his entire life, including his childhood in Stoke-on-Trent, time as a roadie for Jimi Hendrix and brief stint in HAWKWIND.
 
Lemmy hopes to start production in early 2021, but that's contingent upon when the movie industry starts up again after COVID-19.
