Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott has as soon as once more stated he can be open to creating a biopic in regards to the band — however there can be some challenges in making it attention-grabbing for followers.
In a latest interview with U.Okay.’s Metro, Elliott stated making a film about Def Leppard within the fashion of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, Mötley Crüe’s The Dirt and Elton John’s Rocketman is “always being discussed, but let’s not forget there was an MTV movie in 1999 that was fucking awful!” He went on to say that in the event that they had been to make a biopic, it might be “a hell of a lot more accurate.”
The greatest downside with making a film about Def Leppard, in Elliott’s opinion, is that there is not a lot that will shock anybody. “There is a story to tell, but the only problem is from a media perspective it’s just about two big things: Rick [Allen]’s arm and Steve [Clark]’s death… We’d have to pull out a lot of truths that were never told to make it interesting.”
Elliot first stated he can be open to a redemption from the aforementioned Hysteria – The Def Leppard Story produced by VH1 in a December 2019 interview with SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation. “If somebody comes to us one day and says that they wanna do it, we’re not gonna stop them,” he stated. “Because now there’s such a standard set that it would have to match [Bohemian Rhapsody, Rocketman and The Dirt]. So it would be a much, much better version of what that story was.”
