• 17th Mar 2009

The life story of legendary singer and sixties party chick Marianne Faithfull is to be turned into a movie. No timescales have been confirmed as yet, but Faithful herself has confirmed plans are in development, adding that she reckons her lifestory will make for a great film.

She told the BBC that her life had been “a great story”, adding of the film: “It won't happen right away but we have found a director who I trust who wants to make the film”.

While she will approve the movie, she won't be directly involved in its production. She added: “I'm not getting involved. I'll read the script, when it's ready, which isn't for a long time, and then I'll leave it to the director and the actress he chooses. I don't want to have much to do with it. I want to read the script and like the script and then I'm going to let go of it and let them do what they want. That's the way to do it”.

Marianne Faithfull is promoting her new album 'Easy Come Easy Go'.
