Films based on bands almost never work out, and it seems that The Motley Crue’s biopic Dirt is also one of them. Announced back in 2006, the band talked of plans with MTV Films and Paramount Pictures to produce a biopic based on their best-selling autobiography The Dirt co-written with Neil Strauss. The film, however, has fallen flat, as bassist/lyricist Nikki Sixx told Reuters that they are trying to take back the property and find a new partner.

"We’re trying to get them (MTV) out of the way to make this movie that should have been made a long time ago,” said Sixx. “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 further added. “We need to find the right partner. They are not the right partner."
