Ozzy Osbourne's biopic is rocking and rolling toward production.

His son Jack Osbourne—who is working with mom Sharon Osbourne and sister Aimée Osbourne to produce the film—shared the movie's latest updates, including how close they are to securing a lead actor to play his father.

"Script, done. We're currently going out to directors. It's gung ho," Jack told E! News’ Will Marfuggi in an exclusive interview, adding in regards to having a star in mind to play Ozzy, "We do."

"I'm not allowed to say, but conversations have been had," Jack revealed. "If it all works out, it's gonna be awesome."

And with those developments underway, the 40-year-old is optimistic about how soon they can begin shooting.

As Jack put it, "In a perfect world we'd like to be shooting spring, summer of next year."

When comparing their biopic to fan favorites, Jack explained, "It's more Walk the Line than it is Bohemian Rhapsody or Michael."

Jack explained, “I have this mantra, and I always say it, when in meetings with my mom or doing anything with the family business. It’s, ‘give the fans what they want.’ That’s our people, that’s who we’re catering for, that’s what my dad wrote music for, that’s what he toured for, it’s why we did the shows we did. It’s been a big theme.

“Because we’re doing the Ozzy movie with Sony, and I’m always saying in the meetings, ‘We’ve got to give the fans what they want. We can’t make this artsy, esoteric biopic,'” he added. “No, we’re not doing that—for many reasons—but it’s not what the fans want.”
