A Scott Weiland Biopic Is Currently in Development
A new film will delve into the life of late Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver singer Scott Weiland. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Dark Pictures is behind the new film, having acquired the book rights to Weiland's "Not Dead & Not for Sale" memoir.
Weiland first came to fame singing with Stone Temple Pilots in the '90s, but his battles with addiction curtailed a bit of their momentum while at the height of their fame. The singer eventually split with the band before agreeing to front Velvet Revolver in 2002, pairing him with three members of Guns N' Roses' '90s lineup - Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum.
