Deadline reports that Netflix is near a deal for Shout It Out Loud, the KISS biopic directed by Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Rønning. According to the outlet, the film will have close cooperation from bandleaders Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley.  The film will focus on the duo’s friendship as kids in Queens and starting KISS after enlisting guitarist Ace Frehley and drummer Peter Criss.

Although still unannounced officially, Deadline reported the film, titled, Shout It Out Loud, will be directed by Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Ronning — best known forKon-Tiki, Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil, and Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. The script will be written by Ole Sanders.

Deadline posted about the film: “The band’s concert-arena anthems will be a big part of this, but the film will focus on that duo going back to when they were two misfit kids from Queens who formed an unlikely friendship, starting Kiss after enlisting guitarist Ace Frehley and drummer Peter Criss. Trying to set themselves apart from the ‘hair’ bands of the day, they accented their power chords and pyrotechnics with makeup. At heart, their formative story is in the vein of The Commitments, if that Irish soul band employed makeup and spiked heels.”

This movie will be GREAT!!
