Netflix is on the verge of closing a deal for Shout It Out Loud, a KISS biopic that will be directed by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales director Joachim Rønning. KISS band members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley will provide “close cooperation” for the project, which will “focus on that duo going back to when they were two misfit kids from Queens who formed an unlikely friendship.” Deadline has the scoop that the KISS biopic Shout It Out Loud is destined for Netflix. Per the report, “Netflix is tying up a deal after a bidding battle” for the film, which will involve “The band’s concert-arena anthems,” and also “focus on that duo going back to when they were two misfit kids from Queens who formed an unlikely friendship, starting KISS after enlisting guitarist Ace Frehley and drummer Peter Criss. Trying to set themselves apart from the “hair” bands of the day, they accented their power chords and pyrotechnics with makeup.” Deadline also adds that the film is essentially a “formative story” about the band.
