A biopic about Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis is in development at Universal Pictures.
Deadline reports that the studio has obtained the rights to Kiedis’ 2005 biography, Scar Tissue, which chronicled his upbringing, battles with addiction, and early years in the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Kiedis will serve as a producer on the film alongside the Chili Peppers’ longtime manager Guy Oseary and industry mogul Brian Grazer.
Meanwhile, Chili Peppers’ “Unlimited Love Tour” resumes on May 28th in Ridgefield, Washington, and includes stops in Salt Lake City, Toronto, Buffalo, and more before wrapping up in St. Louis on July 30th. Kid Cudi, Ice Cube, Ken Carson, Otoboke Beaver, Seun Kuti & Egypt80, Wand, and IRONTOM will serve as special guests on select dates. Tickets are on sale here.
