I predict that this will be so very bad, in a so very good way.

Joan Jett is cool and all, but here's where godawful Hollywood movies come from:

Floria Sigismondi, who directed videos for David Bowie, the White Stripes and Marilyn Manson, will write and direct the drama

The last two sentences:

That will allow "Neon Angel" to be R-rated and edgy, factors that were important to Jett and Curie. Jett will be exec producer, along with her longtime manager-producer Kenny Laguna and Brian Young.

Damn! Joan is executive producer! With Kenny involved! That man can be the biggest pain in the ass to everyone around (including those with no interest in any given matter) about Joan getting her way. Plus, he has his own artistic merits to offer.

The theatre release should be excellent, but the director's cut DVD could finally put Laguna and Fowley in a courtroom, and THAT would be more drama than ANYONE could handle.
