Guns N’ Roses biopic in the works

Hard rock legends Guns N’ Roses will hit the big screen in a Hollywood biopic. The film will be adapted from Marc Canter’s 2008 GNR biography, Reckless Road: Guns N’ Roses And The Making Of Appetite For Destruction.

In a post to GNR’s message board, Canter gave an exciting summary of what to expect: “I do have a big say so on the script which is still being put together now but so far looking cool. I am going to see that everyone in the cast is doing their job and doing justice to the band. Since I was there, I know what the dialog was between the band for many of the events that took place. When you find out who is making the movie, you will then understand that it will be very cool. I'm proud of all the hard work that was put into this project and it's just going to KICK ASS! In no way will it be a cheesy movie like Rock Star. There really is such a great story here that even the outtakes will be great.”

According to Canter, frontman Axl Rose won’t be involved. “As you all know Axl doesn't support anything to do with the old band except playing their songs live,” he said. It looks like Slash isn’t onboard either. Earlier this year, he told the Belfast Telegraph, “I don’t think they really get the gritty vibe of what it’s like … [and] I would not like to see a Guns N’ Roses biopic.”

“No short cuts, it will be very detailed,” said Canter. He went on to ensure that the film is not a “documentary.” According to Consequence Of Sound, the film has been in development for more than four months. No further information is available at this time.
