Sex Pistols Stars To Be Turned Into Pantomime

Julien Temple, the director responsible for the Sex Pistols documentary ‘The Great Rock & Roll Swindle’, has revealed that he hopes to turn the project into a pantomime.

Temple said that he wants John Lydon will star in the production, which would be an adaptation of Dick Whittington.

“I don’t know whether we’d get [former Sex Pistols manager] Malcolm [McClaren] to play The Big Bad Witch of whatever, but it’s a funny idea anyway,” he explained.

Temple also told 6Music that he has just finished the production on a DVD about bands recent five-night residency at the Brixton Academy in London.

Describing them as a “national treasure”, he defended the veteran band’s decision to play the gigs.

“They make a pantomime - a psycho-panto - out of the event,” he said.  

Speaking about his future plans, Temple said that he hopes to begin a project about The Kinks this year.

“I used to go and watch them drink as a school kids,” he said. “I’d bunk off school over the other side of Hampstead Heath. You’d learn a lot just by watching The Kinks drink actually.”
