Following the success of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” Starlight Films has revealed that it is in the early stages of a film on the 1970s punk band.
Filmmaker Ayesha Plunkett, who has been working on the project for 18 months, told UK publication Daily Star: “We were impressed by the box office takings for ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.’ It only goes to show the public has an appetite for these films.”
The company also announced that the casting process will start soon, hinting that they have already created a wishlist for who they want to play Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren and fashion designer Vivienne Westwood.
Although details about the plot are yet to be announced, the biopic will likely focus on McLaren and Westwood. In the 1970s, the pair ran the clothes shop SEX in Chelsea – which greatly influenced the punk rock movement in the UK.
