Pistols biopic? https://ultimateclassicrock.com/sex-pistols-biopic/

My gut reaction is that it'd be something that would emphasize the sensational and lurid, which would, I think, make most of us wince.
Plus no one can top Andrew Schofield's Rotten in Sid and Nancy.
"Top." :hmm:

They should get Andrew Matey instead. You could really rock that ginger look.

It's been a long time since I read it, but it's hard to walk away not thinking he's a vile human being. Clever, insightful, mischievous … but also basically predatory.
That is exactly my take. That line in the Swindle about using people instead of clay to make sculptures or however it goes is fairly accurate.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

That was my favorite Lydon photo session when I was a kid. I took a lot of visual influence from it.

If you were told he was a singer in a band, how could you not want to hear them? Just a scary amount of photo-charisma, the perfect ad for the band.

oh, here was my facebook post, some of you may have seen it already:

Here’s my casting choices for the new SEX PISTOLS movie: The Game of Thrones midget as Johnny, Idris Elba as Sid, the One Directions as Steve, Paul and Glen (with a maximum of one line of dialog each) and Helen Mirren as Malcolm. I can’t wait for “Should I Stay or Should I Go” to become a hit again!
