Jack Osbourne Breaks Silence on Ozzy’s Final Hours in Emotional Exclusive Interview

Jack Osbourne has confirmed that the long-gestating biopic about his parents, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, has completed its script and is now “gung-ho” as producers court an “awesome” actor to portray the Prince of Darkness, with a studio target of a 2028 theatrical release. Speaking to E! News, the 40-year-old media personality said conversations with the unnamed star are already under way and stressed that the film will “give the fans what they want,” steering clear of any “artsy kind of esoteric biopic” approach in favor of a story that mirrors Ozzy’s larger-than-life legacy. With the script locked, the production team has shifted its focus to securing a director who can balance the couple’s notorious turmoil with their four-decade love story. Osbourne also addressed the family’s decision to create an AI-powered digital avatar of his late father, explaining that the project is about “preserving the digital fingerprint” of the rock icon for future generations, a move he believes is inevitable as artificial intelligence reshapes entertainment. Away from boardrooms and film sets, Jack shared a new photo of his five-month-old daughter, Ozzy Matilda, whose cheeky grin reminded fans of her legendary grandfather’s mischievous smile, drawing thousands of likes across social platforms. The sweet moment underscores the Osbourne family’s ongoing commitment to celebrating Ozzy’s memory following his passing last year. With buzz building around casting news, a fresh script in hand, and an ambitious digital legacy initiative underway, Jack Osbourne is ensuring that his father’s story—and spirit—will continue to resonate on screens and stages for years to come.
