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.”
The most important downside with making a film about Def Leppard, in Elliott’s opinion, is that there is not a lot that might shock anybody. “There’s a story to inform, however the one downside is from a media perspective it is nearly two huge issues: Rick [Allen]’s arm and Steve [Clark]’s demise… We might have to tug out lots of truths that have been by no means informed to make it attention-grabbing.”
Elliot first stated he can be open to a redemption from the aforementioned Hysteria – The Def Leppard Story produced by VH1 in a December 2019 interview with SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation. “If anyone involves us sooner or later and says that they wanna do it, we’re not gonna cease them,” he stated. “As a result of now there’s such an ordinary set that it must match [Bohemian Rhapsody, Rocketman and The Dirt]. So it might be a a lot, a lot better model of what that story was.”
