Billboard.com reports that Motley Crue is frustrated that a long-awaited movie about their lives is going nowhere. The band first announced in 2006 they had reached a deal with MTV Films/Paramount to start producing a biopic based on their best-selling autobiography, "The Dirt," which was co-written with Neil Strauss.
But the band is now looking for new partners, bassist/lyricist Nikki Sixx told Reuters. "We're trying to get them (MTV) out of the way to make this movie that should have been made a long time ago," he said.
"MTV has become bogged down in its own way. It's a channel that used to be hip and has now actually become unhip. We signed with them because we believed they were right, but they haven't come to the table," he said. "We need to find the right partner. They are not the right partner."
Paramount Pictures and MTV Films, both units of media conglomerate Viacom Inc, declined comment.
