Jack Osbourne says Ozzy and Sharon biopic is still moving ahead, with a possible 2028 release
Jack Osbourne says the long-planned Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne biopic is still moving ahead, with a 2028 release now looking likely.
A biopic about Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne is still on track, and Jack Osbourne says the project is now being aimed at a 2028 release.
The film was first announced in 2021 and is set to trace the lives of the Prince Of Darkness and the manager-wife who shaped a huge part of his public story. Lee Hall, the Oscar-nominated writer behind Rocketman and Billy Elliott, is penning the screenplay, with Sony Pictures and Polygram Entertainment attached to develop it.
Even after Ozzy died last month at the age of 76, the project did not appear to have been shelved. Last August, reports suggested it remained active, and Jack later said in January that a “phenomenal” lead actor had already been lined up. Now he has offered the clearest sign yet that the film is still advancing.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Jack said, “I can tell you this: we are moving ahead,” adding, “I was on calls today about it. The script is right there. We are good. This movie will absolutely happen.” He also addressed the timeline, saying, “Realistically — I mean, look, we’re already halfway through ’26 — it probably won’t come out until ’28. But you never know. But, yeah, we’re full steam ahead. We’re about to start going out and getting a director attached. So, fingers crossed. I’m really excited. It’s very much been a labour of love, of course. But, yeah, I’m excited — I’m excited for everyone to see this film.”
The update arrives just as music biopics are once again having a moment. Michael, the film about Michael Jackson, has already broken box office records, and a sequel is already being discussed. That context only sharpens the industry appetite for familiar pop mythology, even if the Osbourne film is still at the stage of locking in its director and settling on a likely launch window.
Elsewhere, Sharon Osbourne has recently been cut off by homelessness charity Centrepoint after appearing to show support for Tommy Robinson’s far-right rally. The charity said, “This sort of event does not align with our values.”
