Ever since rock writer Neil Strauss published The Dirt: Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band, a collaborative Mötley Crüe autobiography he wrote with help from the band, there has been talk of making The Dirt into a movie.

Variety magazine reports that a Neftlix adaption is finally in the works.

The trade publication also reports that local rapper Machine Gun Kelly, who certainly has the appropriate number of tattoos for the part, will play Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee.

Jeff Tremaine (Jackass) will direct the film.
