Mötley Crüe’s autobiography The Dirt will finally become a movie

Mötley Crüe's 2001 autobiography The Dirt is finally set to become a movie after years of false starts.

According to an exclusive report by The Hollywood Reporter, Focus Features will develop the film, which will be directed by Jeff Tremaine of Jackass fame.

The book, which was co-written by Tommy Lee, Vince Neil, Mick Mars and Nikki Sixx with author Neil Strauss, shines an uncensored look at the group's wild exploits, including plenty of sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, arrests, feuding and hairspray.

Casting for The Dirt is expected to begin soon.

Meanwhile, Mötley Crüe will be the musical guest this Thursday on NBC's Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
