Mötley Crüe finally have a release date for their long-awaited biopic The Dirt. The autobiographical film is set to come out on Netflix on March 22.
The movie is based on their 2001 autobiography The Dirt: Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band. It entered pre-production in January and was originally scheduled to premiere in the summer of 2016.
The release date was confirmed on frontman Vince Neil’s twitter, who shared:
Wow!!! Just left Netflix offices. Just saw “The Dirt” movie!! Fuckin awesome!! Can’t wait for everyone to see it! Released March 22!! Yea!!!

The Dirt reportedly starts Daniel Webber as Vince Neil, Douglas Booth as Nikki Sixx, Machine Gun Kelly as Tommy Lee and Iwan Rheon as Mick Mars.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Tommy Lee detailed what fans can expect from the biopic, sharing “Nikki and I went to a table read and it was so fucking surreal. Especially when the movie opens like that, you go, ‘Oh, my God, if it opens like this, this is fuckin’ nuts.’ That was really a trip. Jeff Tremaine’s vision is to … make it as real as possible. He’s really detail-oriented. He’s like, it’s going to be down to the cars you see on the street, the telephones from the Eighties, the lights. The outfits. You’re going to feel like you’re in that time period, and he wanted a lot of stuff. There will be a lot of P.O.V. stuff where you’ll be in Vince’s head, in Nikki’s head while it was going down.”

Last week, Tommy Lee called Travis Scott a “fucking idiot” for ripping off Mötley Crüe’s stage production.
