The Osbourne love story is still headed for the big screen.
In the wake of Ozzy Osbourne’s tragic passing, a biopic chronicling his decades-long romance with Sharon Osbourne’s remains in the works at Sony Pictures.
A representative for Polygram Entertainment confirmed to Variety on Wednesday that “they’re currently in negotiations with a director, which could be confirmed very soon.”
In 2021, Polygram Entertainment partnered with Osbourne Media, the family’s media company, to announce plans for a film about Ozzy and Sharon’s legendary relationship.
Sharon, 72, as well as two of her and Ozzy’s children, Jack and Aimee Osbourne, were attached to produce, with Oscar nominee Lee Hall — behind 2019’s “Rocketman” and 2000’s “Billy Elliot” — set to write the screenplay.
“Our relationship, at times, was often wild, insane and dangerous, but it was our undying love that kept us together,” Sharon said in a statement at the time. “We’re thrilled to partner with Sony Pictures and Polygram [Entertainment] to bring our story to the screen.”
It was also reported in 2021 that the film would feature music from Black Sabbath alongside songs from the late heavy metal legend’s solo career.
Ozzy and Sharon were married from 1982 until his death on July 22 at the age of 76. In addition to Jack, 39, and Aimee, 41, the couple had another child, daughter Kelly, 40.
The former Black Sabbath frontman was father to three other children — Elliot, Jessica and Louis — from his first marriage to Thelma Riley.
According to a statement shared with The Post at the time of his death, Ozzy passed away “surrounded by love.”
“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” the statement read. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.”
On August 5, the late rocker’s cause of death was officially confirmed as cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease.
That same day, Ozzy’s youngest son, Jack, publicly addressed his father’s passing for the first time, saying he stayed quiet because his “heart has hurt too much.”
“I’m going to keep this short because he certainly hated long, rambling speeches,” Jack wrote on Instagram. “He was so many things to so many people, but I was so lucky and blessed to be apart of a very small group that got to call him ‘Dad.’”
He continued, “My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude. I got 14,501 days with that man, and I know that is such a blessing.”
Jack then shared a quote from author Hunter S. Thompson, which he said “best describes [his] father.” It read, “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body… but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, ‘Wow! What a ride!’”
“That was my dad,” he concluded. “He lived, and he lived his life fully. I love you dad.”
Jack paired his tribute with a throwback clip from a 1997 “Howard Stern Show” appearance with his dad, as well as a photo montage of the two over the years, set to Ozzy’s 1983 ballad, “So Tired.”
A week earlier, on July 31, he was laid to rest beside the lake at his Buckinghamshire home, following a funeral procession held the day before in his hometown of Birmingham, England.
