Jack Osbourne confirmed that a biopic about his father, Ozzy Osbourne, is currently in development and moving forward.
The project represents a major cinematic effort to document the life of the Black Sabbath frontman, a figure whose influence on heavy metal is global. Because the Osbourne family has a long history of reality television and public documentation, a scripted feature film offers a different lens on the rock star's legacy.
Jack Osbourne, 40 [2], said the production is proceeding. While some reports describe the film as a biopic focused on Ozzy, other accounts indicate the movie will also focus on his mother, Sharon Osbourne.
Details regarding the script's specific focus vary across reports. Some sources said the movie will feature Ozzy at the end of his tenure with Black Sabbath, and will include the guitarist Randy Rhoads. Other reports emphasize the partnership between Ozzy and Sharon as a central pillar of the narrative.
The film is tentatively slated for release in 2028 [1]. No specific production locations have been disclosed at this time, as the project remains in the development phase.
Osbourne's confirmation comes amid ongoing interest in music-based biopics. The project aims to capture the complexities of the singer's career and personal life, though the final scope of the storytelling remains subject to change as the script is finalized.
“The project is tentatively slated for release in 2028.”
The development of this biopic follows a broader industry trend of 'rockumentaries' and musical biopics aimed at capturing the legacies of aging icons. By including Sharon Osbourne and Randy Rhoads, the production may attempt to balance the internal family dynamics of the Osbourne brand with the professional history of the heavy metal genre.
