MÖTLEY CRÜE Teases Super Bowl Sunday Surprise

MÖTLEY CRÜE appears to be planning some sort of surprise for Super Bowl Sunday (February 3).

On Monday, the band tweeted out three emojis followed by “02.03.19 #ad,” which is the date of the NFL championship game. They added in a second tweet: “Happy Crüe Year too all our #Crüeheads around the world. 2019 is going to EPIC!”

The CRÜE surprise is expected to be related to the film adaptation of the group’s biography, “The Dirt – Confessions Of The World’s Most Notorious Rock Band”, which is reportedly due in March. The movie, which is being helmed by “Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa” director Jeff Tremaine, was picked up by Netflix after being previously developed at Focus Features and before that at Paramount.

MÖTLEY CRÜE recently recorded four new songs for “The Dirt” movie. Bassist Nikki Sixx described the recordings as “real and raw. Everybody is playing like mad and the songs crush,” he wrote on Twitter. “[Producer] Bob Rock brought the sounds. Plus we have a surprise that will confirm that we’re outta our minds.”

The movie will reportedly star Daniel Webber (“The Punisher”) as singer Vince Neil, Douglas Booth as Sixx, Machine Gun Kelly as drummer Tommy Lee, and Iwan Rheon (“Game Of Thrones”) as guitarist Mick Mars. Playing rock and roll legend Ozzy Osbourne in the film is actor-comedian Tony Cavalero, while Rebekah Graf (“The Amityville Murders”, “Lycan”) is playing actress Heather Locklear, ex-wife of Tommy Lee.

“The Dirt” is being produced by LBI Entertainment‘s Julie Yorn and Rick Yorn, along with Erik Olsen and Amanda Adelson, who wrote the script.

In 2015, MÖTLEY CRÜE completed “The Final Tour”, closing the book on the band’s iconic career after performing a total of 164 shows in 72 markets, grossing over $100 million.

To cement the sense of finality, the four members of MÖTLEY CRÜE in 2014 publicly signed a “cessation of touring” contract that prevents any of them from performing under the CRÜE name in the future.

A tour film about MÖTLEY CRÜE‘s final shows, “The End”, came out in 2016.
