Jack Osbourne: Ozzy and Sharon Biopic Likely To Be Released in 2028

Jack Osbourne says that the long-in-the-works biopic on Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne will likely be released in 2028. This follows a previous update late last year regarding negotiations with a potential director.

In a livestream on his official YouTube channel, Jack said (as transcribed by Blabbermouth), “I can tell you this: we are moving ahead. I was on calls today about it. The script is right there. We are good. This movie will absolutely happen. Realistically — I mean, look, we’re already halfway through ’26 — it probably won’t come out until ’28. But you never know. But, yeah, we’re full steam ahead. We’re about to start going out and getting a director attached. So, fingers crossed. I’m really excited. It’s very much been a labor of love, of course. But, yeah, I’m excited — I’m excited for everyone to see this film.”

Osbourne made similar comments on Billy Corgan’s podcast The Magnificent Others, a few months ago, saying, “We’re working on my dad’s movie right now, and I’m one of the producers on it. We’re doing it at Sony Studios. And I’m really kind of in the trenches with that. And it’s funny. Out of all the team assembled on it, with these amazing producers and directors and act[ors], whatever, I’m the least qualified, but everyone just comes to me. I’m the middleman for everyone because if they need questions for my mom or if my mom needs questions for them. So I’ve found myself in this position where I’m the middleman with it all, and I’m really enjoying the experience and just learning about it.”

The initial attempts to make a biopic about the love story of Ozzy and Sharon started all the way back in 1998 with filmmaker Ryan Jaffe. The latest effort has been in development since 2020.

Ozzy said at the time in an interview with Rolling Stone, “From what I understand, it’s about Sharon and I and our relationship. It’s how we met, fell in love, and how we married. She’s my other half. She grew up a lot with me, and I grew up a lot with her.”

Lee Hall, writer for the film Billy Elliot and the Elton John biopic Rocketman, is still attached to the project as writer.
