A movie in regards to the early years of overdue AC/DC frontman Bon Scott is recently in building in Australia. The movie, entitled The Child From Harvest Highway, will inform the tale of Scott’s early years within the Western Australian the city of Freemantle.
“We’re delighted to embark in this adventure to remove darkness from the early years of Bon Scott,” says Ian Hale from Halo Movies. “His tale is one in every of resilience, interest, and the relentless pursuit of his desires. Via this movie, we goal to honour his legacy and encourage audiences with the transformative energy of song and backbone.”
Some other Freemantle native, Lee Tiger Halley, has been picked to play the younger Bon Scott. Halley is perfect referred to as a breakout superstar of Netflix’s adaptation of Trent Dalton’s 2018 award-winning novel, Boy Swallows Universe, the place he performed Gus, the brother of lead personality Eli Bell.
The Child From Harvest Highway‘s screenplay shall be written by way of Stephen Belowsky from Protocol Footage, who says, “I used to be actually impressed by way of his charismatic personality, however what me maximum was once his early, existence no longer the cool animated film everyone knows on degree. The teenager who walked the streets of Fremantle… it is a love letter to Fremantle and Bon reimagined throughout the eyes of the writer.”
The movie is being made “and not using a objection from Scott’s property”, even if American actor and singer Rob Liotti, who was once slated to play Scott in a biopic a decade in the past – a movie that was once reportedly shelved for the reason that overdue Malcolm Younger did not grant permission for AC/DC’s song for use within the movie – has expressed some doubts.
“I truthfully want them the entire good fortune,” says Liotti in a remark, “however my revel in with the subject material was once tricky, and I’m simply no longer positive what the fan hobby shall be referring to a screenplay that focuses only on Bon’s pre-AC/DC tale. It was once without a doubt a side of what I had proposed, however, let’s face it, the majority of fan intrigue are Bon’s years with AC/DC. Movies are in the end about cash; that’s the monetary truth.
“They tried and produced the Jimi Hendrix biopic with out his exact song, and the movie tanked badly. I do needless to say Display Australia is also pledging toughen (to my figuring out) however my greatest takeaway up to now is the remark ‘the Bon Scott Property has no longer objected…’ Whilst I will be able to admire that, that isn’t the Property’s authorisation for tale rights. This is without a doubt a far other subject. Finally, I do want them good fortune, however it can be a difficult street. Time will inform.”
Filming is anticipated to start in early 2025.
