Zep Bio-Pic In The Works

Anyone for a round with the mud shark?

For those of you who've burnt out on endless viewings of The

Song Remains the Same, no matter how cool that Jimmy Page bow solo is after

100 viewings, take heart, a new Led Zeppelin movie is in the works.

The

rights to a feature film based on the 1992 tell-all book by the band's longtime

tour manager, Richard Cole, Stairway to Heaven: Led Zeppelin Uncensored

have been sold by the author for an undisclosed amount to Canterbury Films and

FSO-SOD Communications, a Nogales, Arizona-based magazine publisher

(Progressive Woman, Hispanic Journal, Jewish Business Press), according to

Daily Variety.

Like the book, the movie is expected to follow the

band from its formation in 1968, through its break-up in 1980 following the

death of John "Bonzo" Bonham. No word yet on whether the film will chronicle

their numerous embarrassing post-Bonham reunions, singer Robert Plant's

lukewarm solo albums or Jimmy Page's metal-lite debacles with Plant manquŽ

David Coverdale.

Cole told Variety, "The film could be done any

number of ways. It could certainly be done as a comedy. People laugh at 'This

Is Spinal Tap,' but (director) Rob Reiner was spot-on. That's exactly how it is

on the road.
