'London Calling' To Be Made Into Biopic
The creation of the classic Clash album is to be brought to life on the big screen...
It's going to be made by the company that did 'Tamara Drewe' and 'The Other Boleyn Girl' and produced by former band members Paul Simonon and Mick Jones.
'London Calling' was the band's third album and was named the Greatest Release of the 80s by Rolling Stone (despite coming out in the UK in 1979).
Producer of the film Alison Owens said: "Fans of The Clash all over the world have been waiting a long time to see their extraordinary story played out properly and accurately on the big screen.
"We're happy that Mick and Paul have given the project their blessing and are on board to help steer the ship."
They haven't sorted out the cast yet but filming will start next year.
