In a current interview with U.Okay.’s Metro, Elliott stated making a film about Def Leppard within the fashion of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, Mötley Crüe’s The Filth and Elton John’s Rocketman is “at all times being mentioned, however let’s not overlook there was an MTV film in 1999 that was fucking terrible!” He went on to say that in the event that they have been to make a biopic, it might be “a hell of much more correct.”

So it might be a a lot, a lot better model of what that story was.”
