A movie on Keith Richards' life?

A movie on Keith Richards' life?

Legendary guitarist Keith Richards has revealed that a film based on his autobiography is being planned. Richards's life has been full, risky and exciting: the stuff great movies are made of. He was the baddest  rocker in the Rolling Stones and his aura of cool was fuelled by an enormous heroin addiction.

His autobiography "Life" was published last year and it sold millions of copies. Now it seems a film version of the book is in the works. Keith Richards was named Writer Of The Year at the GQ Awards in London last night (September 8th) and revealed that a big screen adaptation could be on the way. He said: “There are feelers out at the minute (but) I’m in no rush right at the moment. Also, how are they going to find me? The idea of a succession of Keith Richards coming down is horrifying".

Keith Richards received his award from Johnny Depp, who would be amongst the favourite to play him on the silver screen - Deep famously based his character Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates Of The Caribbean series on the guitarist.
