The long-gestating Mötley Crüe biopic based on the band's The Dirt memoir appears to finally be grinding into gear — and it has the casting announcement to prove it.
Variety reports that rapper and actor Machine Gun Kelly is in line to play Crüe drummer Tommy Lee — news Kelly confirmed on Twitter, where he told followers that he "kept it in the family" by convincing producers to hire his younger brother to teach him how to play the drums, a skill he's vowed to acquire before filming starts.
