The Voice judge Boy George is officially getting his own movie.
WATCH Boy George throw a tantrum and storm off The Voice:
The as yet untitled biopic will be directed by Sacha Gervasi and is set to trace the iconic singer’s rise to success.
Gervasi is best known for directing My Dinner with Herve as well as the 2008 rockumentary Anvil: The Story of Anvil.
“There is no filmmaker better suited than Sacha Gervas ito tell George’s confessional story with the irreverence and emotion it deserves,” MGM Motion Picture Group president Jonathan Glickman told Deadline in a statement.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with both of them to bring this remarkably honest and wildly entertaining tale to audiences around the world.”
“In the London clubs of the ’80s, George was impossible to miss and everyone knew he would be a star long before the world had ever heard a note of Culture Club’s iconic songs,” the British director and screenwriter shared. “I’m both honoured and excited to be the one to guide it onto the big screen.”
And Boy George himself voiced his support for the movie.
“A MOVIE! @mgm_studios Thrilling!” the 57-year-old wrote on Instagram.
