Several iconic rock bands and musicians have received the biopic treatment. Queen, Elton John, Johnny Cash, The Runaways, The Doors, Ray Charles, James Brown, Elvis and even Weird Al have all had their stories depicted via the silver screen.
KISS is also getting a biopic, “Shout It Out Loud,” and Deadline reports that production will start at the end of this year or early 2026. The site also said that Nick Jonas, best known for being in the Disney Channel pop/rock act The Jonas Brothers, is set to star as KISS singer/guitarist Paul Stanley and will do his own singing for the project.
KISS manager Doc McGhee previously said of the film: “The script is about the first four years of KISS. Basically, it’s before they were famous — it was up to Cadillac High, that kind of thing. And I think it’s a very interesting look at the formation of KISS, the mindset of how that came about, the social pressure that everybody was in in the ’60s and ’70s that brought something like KISS to the forefront, that it could actually happen. So it’s a very interesting, and I think it’s a well-written movie.”
The film will be directed by Joseph McGinty Nichol.
