Boy George set for the big screen

 

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.
