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.

they should have it be a bopic about john's butter salesmanship. lurid af

Looks like it's about Malcolm and Vivienne, rather than the Pistols.

Watched the tour of London a couple of years back. Found Paul and Steve quite interesting and enjoyable. Lydon seemed to find anything and everything to moan at while simply looking like the sad bastard everyone tries to avoid at the local.

Right, but I meant how punk/the Pistols would be handled. I know I'm being ridiculously quick to be negative, but I'm deeply skeptical of how a commercial film would handle that story, that it'd go the easy route.

The better film would be Malcolm's life leading up to the point he manages the Sex Pistols. The rest has been told ad infinitum.

Yeah, it's going to suck. I have no doubt.

It would have little commercial zing, but, yeah, I'd be up for that. It'd be pretty much impossible to frame that story as everything he does leading to punk, but whatever.

I watched the Vivienne Westwood film recently that was interesting.
Malcolm did not come out of it very well at all.

He simply wasn't very nice. He treated everyone as if they were just a commodity.

Ironic, that. Whatever his insights and accomplishments, they seem coincidental to his true nature.

He was worse than that he was bitter, vindictive and jealous. He tried (and for a while succeeded) to sabotage Vivienne's career out of pure spite.

Not very nice then. You should read ''The Wicked Ways of Malcolm McLaren''.

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.

Plus no one can top Andrew Schofield's Rotten in Sid and Nancy.
