Monday, July 5, 2010 at 11:27AM Is Colin Farrell Playing Ozzy Osbourne?
In an eye-opening bit of casting, Colin Farrell has been linked to a bio-pic in which he would play Ozzy Osbourne, according to Irish Central. Said a source, "Colin drinks, he smokes, he womanizes. He's just a sleeve tattoo away from being a real rock star.”

It's true that Farrell does have a pretty visible bad boy image, although he's cleaned up his act almost wholesale in the past three years or so. And it would be interesting to see what he could do with the role. If you thought Ray Charles and Johnny Cash had their ups and downs...
But the Prince of Darkness is on record about his preference for an actor to portray him in a film, and it's not an Irishman. “I don't want a Johnny Depp or someone from the Hobbit films. I want someone who knows Birmingham. I'm from Birmingham, and it would be good to get someone from Birmingham to play me,” Ozzy has said.
Also, maybe someone who doesn't look like Colin Farrell.
The movie, apparently, is taking shape at Paramount and MTV Films, although this news might indicate that it's further along than we had thought. If it's true that Farrell is the guy, then the Ozzy movie has to be worked into the Irishman's suddenly very busy schedule. Fright Night, Horrible Bosses, By Virtue Fall, and a movie written and directed by his In Bruges co-star, the consistently underrated Brendan Gleeson.
But if it's not Farrell in the role, who should play Ozzy?

Christopher Walken.
From Birmingham are Oliver and James Phelps who play George and Fred Weasley in the Harry Potter movies (too young?) and Neil Newbon (who's about the same age as Colin Farrell but not as well known obviously) and Arthur Davill who has the advantage of being a musician.
I love Colin but this part is more comedic than dramatic and could go belly-up - Colin's had too many undeserved flops to risk this one. I see Russell Brand or Jack Black playing over-the-top loud fools like Ozzy! Does anyone agree? COLIN - DON'T DO IT, MAN!!!!!!
