During an appearance on “The Magnificent Others” podcast, Ozzy Osbourne’s son Jack shared more details on his late father’s biopic. According to him, the film will be “an orign story.”

Jack said the following:

“We’re working on my dad’s movie right now, and I’m one of the producers on it. We’re doing it at Sony Studios. And I’m really kind of in the trenches with that. And it’s funny. Out of all the team assembled on it, with these amazing producers and directors and act[ors], whatever, I’m the least qualified, but everyone just comes to me. I’m the middleman for everyone because if they need questions for my mom or if my mom needs questions for them. So I’ve found myself in this position where I’m the middleman with it all, and I’m really enjoying the experience and just learning about it. Movies, they’re different. It’s a different animal.”

He continued when asked for further details:

“Well, it was announced that we were doing it with Sony Pictures. We haven’t done announced the cast yet, ’cause we haven’t settled [on all of it]. Initially it was gonna go from kind of my dad as a young man to the kind of mid-’90s, but we’re shrinking it down. We’re doing a rewrite right now. In my perfect vision of it, it would be kind of tail end of SABBATH, him going solo. [Because] you gotta have the love story. And that’s kind of the main focus of the film, and all the craziness that happened in the early ’80s and Randy’s [Rhoads, late Ozzy guitarist] tragic death. But, yeah, it’s an origin story.”
