Under the working title of You Really Got Me, the film will explore the turbulent relationship between bandmates and brothers Ray and Dave Davies on their rise to fame in the '60s.
Directed by music video helmer Julien Temple, who has previously made documentaries about the Sex Pistols and Glastonbury, frontman Ray will also be involved in the project.
"At the heart of it is the extraordinary love-hate relationship between these two brothers: sibling rivalry is at the core," Temple told Screen Daily. "I think it's a very rich social, cultural nexus around The Kinks. Their story is the untold story of all those big bands of the 1960s."
Both the cast and release date are yet to be announced.
