Atlanta quartet The Black Lips are set to continue their roll in 2007 by becoming movie stars.

They will take up the roles of a fictional band called the Renagades in a new film entitled ‘Let It Be’.

The filmed is being funded by the bands label Vice alongside Springboard Films and will produced by Andrew Meyer (The Breakfast Club/Fried Green Tomatoes) and Winn Coslick.

According to the Movies website it is “the story of the movement in underground American music that was known as D.I.Y."

It adds: "The movie will be filmed throughout the Southeast and will include notable music of the period and new music written by the band [Black Lips]."

There is no news on a release date for the movie as yet.
