Ozzy Osbourne’s Son Shares Update on Biopic About Late Rock Legend: ‘Give the Fans What They Want’

The Ozzy Osbourne biopic is advancing with Sony Pictures’ script finalized, as reported by Jack Osbourne. He emphasized the project’s focus on delivering what fans want, rejecting an artsy biopic. ‘We’ve got to give the fans what they want,’ he said. ‘We’re not doing that—for many reasons—but it’s not what the fans want.’ The son confirmed a performer is being considered for the role of his legendary father, though details remain undisclosed. Regarding the controversial AI avatar decision for Ozzy, Jack defended it as preserving his father’s digital essence. ‘Ultimately, it’s about getting ahead of what is inevitable,’ he explained. The film, originally announced five years ago, will explore Ozzy’s career and his relationship with Sharon. Writer Lee Hall (‘Billy Elliot’) is involved. Ozzy Osbourne passed away in July 2025 at age 76 due to a heart attack, following health struggles including coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s. The family issued a statement expressing grief and respecting privacy. Additionally, Jack mentioned the recent launch of the streaming platform Spark.
