Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx has hit out at MTV for stalling production on The Dirt, a biopic on the metal veterans.
The group reached a deal with MTV Films/Paramount in 2006 to turn their best-selling autobiography into a movie but have been unable to generate momentum for the project.
Sixx told Reuters: "We're trying to get them out of the way to make this movie that should have been made a long time ago.
"MTV has become bogged down in its own way. It's a channel that used to be hip and has now actually become unhip. We signed with them because we believed they were right, but they haven't come to the table. We need to find the right partner. They are not the right partner."
The Dirt, which the band co-wrote with Neil Strauss, details the band's formation, rise to fame and decadent lifestyles.
