Various sources have reported that acclaimed director Martin Scorsese is getting ready to direct a film about the legendary punk rock band Ramones. SPIN has even announced that the film will be out in 2016.
According to other sources, however, the rumored film is unlikely to be ready for theatrical release in 2016 because there is no script for it yet. What no one is disputing at the moment is that director Scorsese is indeed very interested in the project.
Earlier this year, Tommy Ramone, the last surviving original member of the Ramones, died at the age 65. The Hungarian-born musician and producer founded the band in 1974 with vocalist Joey Ramone, guitarist Johnny Ramone, and bassist Dee Dee Ramone.
