Back in January I posted part of an interview with Andy Serkis where he mentioned he would be playing punk legend Ian Dury in a biopic due to start filming this month.
Now the film has a title, Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll, and will be directed by Mat Whitecross reports Variety.
It has also gained an excellent cast. Naomi Harris ("Pirates of the Caribbean"), Ray Winstone ("The Departed"), Olivia Williams ("The Sixth Sense"), Noel Clarke (TV's "Doctor Who"), Toby Jones ("Infamous"), MacKenzie Crook ("Pirates of the Caribbean") and Bill Milner ("Son of Rambow") .
Arthur Darvill, James Jagger, Tom Hughes, Shakraj Soornack, Clifford Samuel and Joe Kennedy are also set to play Dury's band members the Blockheads.
Paul Viragh penned the script, Damian Jones is producing and shooting kicks off May 3rd in London.
No word yet on whether Andy Serkis will be portraying Ian Dury through the wonders of motion capture :)
