Directorial debut from Ozzy Osbourne's son will be an original horror film featuring his father's band's music
Jack Osbourne is to direct his first feature film, Black Sabbath, according to reports.
Not to be confused with Mario Bava's 1963 Italian portmanteau, from which the band fronted by Jack's father, Ozzy, took their name, Black Sabbath will be an original horror film featuring the group's music.
While this will be Osbourne's first directing job, it is not his first foray into the world of film; he co-produced concert documentary God Bless Ozzy Osbourne, which premiered at the Tribeca film festival last weekend. Osbourne Jr is again joining forces with producer Marc Weingarten, who co-produced the recent documentary. Shooting is to begin by the end of the year.

Jack Osbourne is reported set to make his directorial debut on the horror film "Black Sabbath" reports The Press Association.
Despite the title, the film is not a biopic of his father Ozzy Osbourne's heavy metal band of the same name. Co-producer Marc Weingarten however confirms that "the music of Black Sabbath is in the movie".
Details of the plot are sketchy aside from it being a horror feature. However this is said to be the same project which Producer Mike Fleiss ("Hostel") and guitarist Tony Iommi were linked to a few years ago.
Shooting aims to kick off near the end of the year. The younger Osbourne has previously produced a concert documentary about his dad entitled "God Bless Ozzy Osbourne".

Details are thin on the ground, but it seems that Jack Osbourne is about to direct Black Sabbath, using the music of his dad's iconic metal band. That should make the rights easy to come by.It's not Jack's first toe in the waters of moviedom, since he was a producer on the recent concert documentary God Bless Ozzy Osbourne. That film's co-producer Marc Weingarten is also aboard Black Sabbath, but he isn't planning a docco along similar lines. Nor are we talking about a remake of the Mario Bava film from which the band took its name.It is a horror movie though, and all indications would seem to be that this is the same Black Sabbath that Sabbs guitarist Tony Iommi was involved with a couple of years ago, alongside Hostel and Texas Chainsaw Massacre producer Mike Fleiss.Info was sketchy back then too. Could this be taking...

Apparently when you're the sibling of Ozzy Osbourne you can live to be or do anything you want in life. Well isn't that special. Jack Osbourne is now a filmmaker as he is set to make a horror movie inspired by and named after his father Ozzy's rock band Black Sabbath, reports Contact Music. The reality TV star recently wrapped his first big gig as a producer, working on behind-the-scenes concert documentary God Bless Ozzy Osbourne, which he premiered at New York's Tribeca Film Festival on Sunday.

Marc Weingarten, co-producer on God Bless Ozzy Osbourne, tells WENN, "Jack and I are about to do a horror movie called Black Sabbath so there's some connective tissue there." Weingarten refuses to reveal any plot details, although he admits the duo has yet to cast anyone in the film.

This year’s Tribeca will be running from Wednesday, April 20 to Sunday, May 1, so its close start date means that the lineup of movies are coming in fast. We’ve already gotten the World Narrative and World Documentary categories, and the next batch of movies have just been revealed.
Thanks to Deadline, we now have movies in the Spotlight, Cinemania, Special Screening and Sports categories. The list isn’t half bad; the one I’m looking forward to the most is The Guard, which got very strong reviews at Sundance earlier this year. All the categories seem to have solid picks, and I’d say this is shaping up to be a good year. Tfs will be there (including me!), so many of these movies will have reviews up on the site when the festival runs. Take a look at it below:

Well, congratulations New Yorkers, because you’ll get to see at least 2 films I saw at Sundance in January, when they screen at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival, which just announced the second half of its festival lineup – the Spotlight, Cinemania, and Special Screening sections, most notably.
The films I’m referring to are Michael Rapaport’s Tribe Called Quest documentary, Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest, and The Guard, which Don Cheadle co-stars in, as an FBI agent (or is it CIA).
I’m still planning on going through the full list of entries to spotlight any titles worthy of this website, and I’ll do that in coming days/weeks… definitely before the festival begins next month – a festival I plan to attend, since it’s right in my backyard.
Worth noting is that Rapaport’s doc will be making its New York premiere, the...
