Machine Gun Kelly will play drummer Tommy Lee in The Dirt. He will be joined by Douglas Booth as Nikki Sixx, Iwan Rheon as Mick Mars and Daniel Webber as Vince Neil. The film is set to drop on Netflix, March 22nd.
Vocalist Vince Neil has already seen the film and has offered up his thoughts on it. In an interview with Kaaos TV, Neil revealed that he found it to be better than anticipated.
“I was really pleasantly surprised, because I didn’t know if it was gonna be this really low-budget film,” Neil shared. “Because you can make really bad films very easily. But after the first 10 minutes of watching the movie, I forgot it was about us and I just was enjoying a really good film.”
He continued, “I think each guy that played each of the band members pulled it off — I mean, exact. You get everybody’s personalities right there on film. It’s pretty neat to watch.”
