Another 80s music legend is set for the big screen, as TriStar Pictures is
developing a biopic about Boy George. The screenplay will be written by J.C.
Lee, known for his work in both film and television. Oscar-winning producer
Cathy Schulman will produce the film alongside George’s manager Paul Kemsley, and
George himself will serve as an executive producer, ensuring his story is told
authentically.
Although the project is still in its early stages, the film will feature
music from George and his band Culture Club and the screenplay will be adapted
from George’s autobiographies, Take It Like a Man, Straight,
and Karma, focusing on the peak years of Culture Club’s success.
Boy George shot to fame as the lead singer of Culture Club, a band that
dominated the 80s music scene with hits like "Karma Chameleon" and
"Do You Really Want to Hurt Me." With seven UK Top 10 singles and
nine U.S. Top 10 hits, Culture Club has sold over 100 million singles and 50
million albums worldwide.
He remains a global icon, known for his vibrant personality and influence
across music, fashion, and culture. His career spans sold-out tours, numerous
TV appearances, and a recent star turn in Broadway’s Moulin Rouge! The
Musical.
