Read the Full Screenplay of Roger Ebert's Never-Made Sex Pistols Movie From the '70s

Back in the summer of 1977, Roger Ebert wrote a script about The Sex Pistols. Originally titled Anarchy in the U.K., it was supposed to be directed by Russ Meyer and produced by the band’s manager, the late Malcolm McLaren. The name of the film was eventually changed to Who Killed Bambi, and though the movie was never made due to financial issues, Ebert recently posted the whole script on his Chicago Sun-Times blog. “I can’t discuss what I wrote, why I wrote it, or what I should or shouldn’t have written,” Ebert said of the script. “Frankly, I have...  read more

Other artists scheduled to perform at the three-day event include The Police, Kaiser Chiefs and Kate Nash. “There's talk of new material,” drummer Paul Cook said in a recent statement. “The only problem is that it's a bit hard to work on anything as John (Lydon) and Steve (Jones) are in America and Glen (Matlock) and I are in the U.K., so it's a case of finding the time to get together.” Although the songs will be their first new offerings in 30 years, the...  read more
