AC/DC - Bon Scott Movie Closer To Being Made
AC/DC fans worldwide seem to be moving one step closer to a film paying hommage to the late singer Bon Scott. Key production team members from High Voltage Productions Pty., the current controlling production company overseeing Bon Scott - The Legend of AC/DC, begun talks this week with one of the world's leading production and entertainment companies. The film project is a docudrama chronicling the career of frontman Bon Scott of AC/DC, who died tragically at age 33 in 1980 after only six years with the band.
Starring in the film is American singer/actor Rob Liotti, who is also the credited screenwriter. Liotti is no stranger to things AC/DC as he fronted a Scott tribute act for years. Also on board the High Voltage team is director J. R. Getches. The production company also recently announced the addition of producer Michael Meltzer to its team who is no stranger to Hollywood and is well-respected in entertainment circles. Also brought on board was entertainment lawyer, Rhett Klok, who advises on business affairs.
Description of the movie: "Bon Scott - The Legend of AC/DC, a docu-drama film, is the first of its kind and will chronicle the musical career of the late Australian music icon, Bon Scott, and the band AC/DC. The film concentrates on an integral period of the band's history when Bon Scott helps to catapult AC/DC to international stardom, yet never really gets to experience fruits of his labour. He even struggles with bouts of loneliness and isolation whilst often reaching out to ordinary fans for companionship and social interaction. Examined and portayed is an accurate depiction of the emotional dynamic surrounding the band based upon true events. The film is sure to leave fans and admirers alike drawn to Scott and his often hysterical antics and to the band which made him famous."
Latest update: "Fans, High Voltage Productions held a teleconference with one of the world's largest entertainment and production companies. We had a great conversation with their representative and they have requested more information to move forward. Talks went very well and we expect to hold another conversation with them soon. They are very interested in the project, and we are interested in working with them."
