Netflix Prepares to Release all ‘The Dirt’ On Motley Crüe

On March 22, Netflix subscribers will finally get the chance to “Shout at the Devil.”

The streaming service is set to premiere the Motley Crüe biopic, The Dirt, based on the biography of the same name written by Crüe themselves (along with Neil Strauss). Director Jeff Tremaine, best known for his work on the Jackass movies, oversees the production that promises to tell the wild, debauched tales that defined glam rock’s most notoriously wild band.

Iwan Rheon (Ramsay Bolton in Game of Thrones), Douglas Booth (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies), rapper Machine Gun Kelly, and Daniel Webber (The Punisher) star as Mick Mars, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, and Vince Neil, respectively, bringing to live the glory days of debauchery and excess that earned Motley Crüe their badboy notoriety. SNL’s Pete Davidson joins the line up as legendary A&R man Tom Zutaut.

Crüe’s antics are legendary in the world of rock and roll, with their party days of sex and drugs setting the standard for rock excess as well as a warning for every band who has come up since. Crüe’s book was a wild tale of decadence matched by few in the industry, with unbelievable stories that shock even the most jaded of rock critics and fans.

That the core four are still alive today is something of a miracle, though they weren’t without their close calls. Sixx was declared legally dead for minutes following an overdose on heroin in 1987.

With so much drama and so many stories to pull from The Dirt stands to be a wild tale that will captivate and enthrall fans of Motley Crüe or rock in general. You don’t have to enjoy the band to be stunned by the antics they go into. The Dirt stands to be a potentially great musical biopic.

The Dirt premieres on Netflix on March 22.
