Colin Farrell to play the Prince of Darkness?

Colin Farrell signs on to play the Black Sabbath frontman on the big screen.

There is a film about to be made about rocker Ozzy Osbourne based on his autobiography I Am Ozzy.

Perez Hilton always seems to get the scoop and offers up a big one now. He reports actor Colin Farrell has signed on to play the legendary rocker.

A source told Hilton: "At least Colin and Ozzy are on the same page when it comes to using four-letter words! Colin drinks, he smokes, he womanises. He’s just a sleeve tattoo away from being a real rock star."

Colin Farrell built a reputation as a skirt chaser and partier but pulled it together in recent years to benefit his personal life and career. After a stint in rehab, he has been working to undo the party boy image.

He is the father of two sons, 6-year old James with model Kim Bordenave, and baby Henry with current girlfriend, actress Alicja Bachleda.

Farrell won the Best Actor Golden Globe for his portrayal of a hitman in the film In Bruges in 2008. He also appeared in last year’s Crazy Heart with Jeff Bridges.

Colin Farrell will next appear on the big screen alongside Keira Knightley in London Boulevard. He also stars in The Way Bay with Mark Strong and Saoirse Ronan.
