A biopic based on the Mötley Crue book ‘The Dirt: Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band’ has been in the works for several years, but it’s been a while since we’ve heard anything about the rowdy project.

Director Jeff Tremaine's four movies (the three 'Jackass' films plus 'Bad Grandpa') to date have grossed over $300 million, almost assuring that he'd one day get the right to direct a traditional feature film. Well, today is that day. Tremaine has signed on to direct 'Dirt,' a biopic based on the tumultuous career of legendary glam metal band Motley Crue.
