Ozzy Osbourne biopic being made

Music biopics are gold in Hollywood. Everyone wants to see movies about their favorite musicians and the struggles they went through. This one, however, might be a bit more insane than most.
Sharon Osbourne revealed that a film on the life of Ozzy Osbourne is set to be made (via NME). “There’s about to be a big announcement,” she said during a Celebrity Apprentice press conference. “It’s been picked up and it’s going into production.”
“We’re going to make a press announcement hopefully within the next two weeks. [There's no cast] yet, but we have a producer and we have lots of money and we’re all starting,” she added.
So what actor would have the chops (and stomach…biting the head off a bat isn’t easy) to play the Prince of Darkness? According to Osbourne, it won’t be a Hollywood superstar. She wants an unknown actor to take the role. As to who would play her in the film? She has an answer for that.
“The girl from An Education, the English girl Carey Mulligan,” she said. So is she completely ruling out her daughter Kelly for the role?
“To play me? She is a Mini Me, so yeah, she would be good,” Osbourne said. I’m kinda, sorta hoping that she sticks with her first answer.
