A film about the Black Sabbath's star life has been in the works for many years and it is moving ahead following Ozzy's death.
His son Jack has revealed they've already chosen a leading man and a director.
During an appearance on SiriusXM show Influenced, Jack explained: "We have our decided pick, and I can't say anything yet, but it's a phenomenal, phenomenal actor. We have a director attached, and we're doing a rewrite right now."
Host Billy Morrison added Ozzy would "get a kick out of" having a movie made about his life and Jack replied: "Oh, he would. And all he kept saying - I'd give him updates: 'Oh, we met with this guy', and 'this is happening'.
"And he just would go: 'I don't give a shit. Just tell me when it's out so I can go see it'."
Previous reports suggested the film will tell the love story between Ozzy and his wife Sharon and will be written by Lee Hall, who previously brought Sir Elton John's life story to the big screen in 2019 film Rocketman.
Jack is a producer on the film along with his mother Sharon and sister Aimee.
At the time the film project was announced back in 2021, Sharon said in a statement: "Our relationship at times was often wild, insane and dangerous but it was our undying love that kept us together.
"We're thrilled to partner with Sony Pictures and Polygram to bring our story to the screen."
