The long-anticipated biopic about rock legend Ozzy Osbourne is officially gaining momentum, and according to his son, Jack Osbourne, the project has already reached a major milestone in development.

Jack, 40, shared an update on the film during a holiday episode of Influenced, the SiriusXM show hosted by musician Billy Morrison, in December 2025. After nearly six years in development, he confirmed the movie has entered its next critical phase. “We’re full steam ahead in the next phase of development,” Jack said. “It’s an acted movie that we’ve been developing with Sony Studios for about six years now.”

Although the actor set to portray Ozzy has not yet been revealed, Jack made it clear the team is thrilled with their choice. “We have our decided pick, and I can’t say anything yet, but it’s a phenomenal, phenomenal actor,” he shared. “We also have a director attached, and we’re currently doing a rewrite.”

Reports indicate the film will primarily focus on the love story between Ozzy and his wife, Sharon Osbourne. Rocketmanscreenwriter Lee Hall is attached to the project, which is being produced by Sony Pictures in partnership with Polygram Entertainment.

While fans are eagerly awaiting details, Jack said his father took a laid-back approach to the biopic. “Oh, he would [be excited],” Jack said when asked. “I’d give him updates, and he’d just go, ‘I don’t give a sh*t. Just tell me when it’s out so I can go see it.’”

Ozzy and Sharon, 73, previously discussed the film during an episode of their revived podcast in April 2024. “By the time they finish this film, I’ll be dead… I wanna be alive to f*cking see it,” Ozzy joked at the time, while Sharon added, “Movies take forever to make. Forever.”

Tragically, Ozzy Osbourne passed away before the film entered production. The Black Sabbath frontman died on July 22, 2025, at age 76. His death certificate later revealed he suffered a heart attack, with coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease listed as contributing conditions.

Just six months prior to his passing, Ozzy reunited with the original Black Sabbath lineup—Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward—for what would become his final performance. The historic show took place at the Back to the Beginningcharity concert in Birmingham, England, the band’s hometown, serving as a powerful full-circle moment and an iconic farewell for the Prince of Darkness.
