Director Bruce Sinofsky (
Metallica: Some Kind of Monster) is to make a movie around rocker Tommy Lee, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The still-untitled film, in preproduction, is slated to begin shooting in the spring.
"In the rock world, there are few figures as colorful as Tommy Lee, and not just because of his tattoos," Sinofsky said. "This project seeks a candid glimpse behind the celebrity and tabloid personality into who Tommy really is, watching him interact with family, friends and business associates."
"I'm honored that Bruce is turning his cameras loose on me," Lee said.
