Developing for at least a decade, and previously in the hands of the late Tony Scott, Fox's biopic of Sonny Barger and the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club has now landed with Entourage writer-producer Scott Weiss. "We're approaching this as a genesis story of the motorcycle club culture," says Weiss. "I've wanted to do something in the biker space for a long time."The film will cover a time period between the late 1950s and the early 1970s, with Barger at the centre. It will be, says Weiss, "a period piece that explores the early days of the Hells Angels; the philosophy of the formidable, most loyal brotherhood that started it; and what drove Sonny, who had the leadership and the vision to expand the club amid almost unsurmountable obstacles like rival clubs and law enforcement."Barger has himself written several books, both autobiographical and more general credos of life on two wheels.
