Wayne's World director to make film about Sex Pistols

Wayne's World director Penelope Spheeris is to make a film about Johnny Rotten, based on Lydon's autobiography, focusing on the birth of UK punk rock.

Wayne's World director Penelope Spheeris is to make a film about the life of the Sex Pistols frontman Johnny Rotten (aka John Lydon). The film is to be based on Lydon's autobiography ‘Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs’. It will focus on the birth of punk rock in the UK. Spheeris told reporters that he wants to set the record straight: he feels Rotten has never received the credit he is due for his role in the band and the whole punk phenomenon. As yet there is no word as to who will be playing any of the roles.
