Executive producer Ed Seaman and MVD Entertainment Group have acquired punk rocker GG Allin’s life and music rights, with Jonas Åkerlund attached to the direct the biopic film, titled “GG Allin: Live. Fast. Die.”Angry Films’ Don Murphy and Susan MonEord (“Natural Born Killers,” “Transformers,” “Real Steel”) will produce along with Eric D.
Wilkinson (Jerome Bixby’s “The Man From Earth,” “Overrun”) from a screenplay by Richard Schenkman (“The Man From Earth: Holocene,” “The Pompatus of Love”).Known as rock ‘n roll’s “outlaw scumfuc,” GG Allin’s live shows were legendary for his outrageous antics. Kevin Michael Allin (born Jesus Christ Allin) adopted “GG” as his stage persona, but the role took over his life. Descending into booze, drugs and schizophrenia, GG tore through band mates, fans, and women, announcing that he would commit suicide on stage October 31st, 1991 – only to find himself in prison for assault on that date.Husband, father, lunatic “GG Allin: Live.
Fast. Die.” is the true story of what happens to a borderline personality when the reach for fame exceeds the limits of talent, when substance abuse goes unchecked and mental illness undiagnosed and untreated, and when a fictional character takes over a real person’s life, driving GG beyond limits anyone could possibly endure.“I love pushing limits,” Åkerlund said in a statement. “This is exactly the type of real and raw story I am looking for and this film explores the ugly belly of the beast and how Kevin Allin came to be GG.
