Colin Farrell Cast As The Prince Of Darkness In Ozzy Osbourne Biopic!

7/03/2010 11:40 AM ET | Filed under: Film Flickers • Johnny Depp • Colin Farrell • Sharon Osbourne

Inneresting casting choice! But we like it!

Colin Farrell has reportedly signed on to play Ozzy Osbourne in a new biopic about the Prince of Darkness!

A source says:

“At least Colin and Ozzy are on the same page when it comes to using four-letter words! Colin drinks, he smokes, he womanizes. He's just a sleeve tattoo away from being a real rock star.”

Ozzy has gone on the record saying he wants an unknown actor from his hometown, Birmingham, while Sharon has openly suggested Johnny Depp, but we think that they'll eventually be pleased with the casting choice!

The more we think about it, the more we think that he'll nail it!

Thoughts??

Here's my question are they having him play a young Ozzy and someone else play older Ozzy, and who is going to play Sharon. There def needs to be two of those as Sharon doesn't look anything like original Sharon.

Terrible choice.
What are you thinking, Mr. Not-Genius Hollywood Casting Director?
Tobey Maguire would have be so much better.
-
Even the multi-talented actor, Andrew Garfield, who is replacing Tobey in Spiderman, would have been genius casting, 'cuz he has 2 Bafta awards and Colin is so 'nebbish' in comparison.

I'm not sure if Colin is a has been or an almost was, but he does need the work. They will have to do a little de-skanking to him to get to Ozzy's level however.

Why the hell doesn't Ozzy do Ozzy, but use soft lens or a dopelganger for the younger bits? Only Ozzy can do Ozzy. The whole family could star in his biopic movie. It's so damn obvious. He wouldn't even have to lipsync.

Good choice! And Colin is sober these days. Having a very special needs kid woke him up to sobriety and now he has a second child with his current gf.

If you had Ozzy doing the Ozzy movie, all of the world's metal fans would go, to see Ozzy. I'm surprised Sharon is letting this slip out of their own hands, frankly.

Unquote.

My thoughts exactly.

Failing that, Johnny Depp, (Ozzy,) & Zoe Wanamaker, (Sharon.)

Colin Farrell is a truly terrible actor. This is already a fucking joke. I'll take this Ozzy movie serious when the people making it do.
