Fox Searchlight to make a Ramones bio-pic

Risky Business Blog is reporting that Fox Searchlight is getting ready to make a Ramones bio-pic. I don't want to spend too much time on who the Ramones were, because you should already know! They basically invented the punk rock genre in 1974. Not all the members were related, they just all carried the Ramones last name; that of the lead singer and guitarist: Joey and Johnny Ramone respectively.

In the past, a Ramones movie has been rumored but never happened. It went as far as to be part of the HBO hit, Entourage. In that show, the lead actor (playing an actor), is rumored to play Joey Ramone.

I would personally be very interested in seeing how the band came together, their rise to the top and what drama took place along the way. It's a band I've heard about my entire life, yet I know nothing about their roots. I know their music, but not the members; I would pay money to see this movie! Would you?
