Alice In Chains singer's life could become movie

A biography of late Alice In Chains frontman Layne Staley might be turned into a movie, reports Blabbermouth.net. A press release from Arts Publications indicated that Argentinean journalist Adriana Rubio has been contacted by Philadelphia-based filmmaker Eric Moyer about making a film version of her book, Layne Staley: Get Born Again. Moyer said in a statement, "I am determined to make this film about Layne Staley, not only to celebrate his life and talent, but to warn others through his compelling story that heroin will kill you...no matter who you are."

Staley died in April of 2002 after struggling with an addiction to heroin for many years.

Rubio's book features interviews with Staley's mother and sister, as well as the vocalist himself, who spoke with the writer just months before his death.

According to Rolling Stone magazine, Staley's mother initially gave the book her blessing, but later withdrew support because she said it "lacked concern for basic human dignity."

The surviving members of Alice In Chains are currently on their first tour together in more than a decade. They play on Tuesday, October 3rd, in Austin, Texas.
