Why Johnny Rotten Hates Danny Boyle’s Pistol (& Why That’s Perfect)
In a deeply fitting move, Sex Pistols frontman Johnny Rotten resents director Danny Boyle’s upcoming FX miniseries Pistol so much that he is attempting to sue the creators of the series before it even airs. It is not unusual for directors, producers, and screenwriters working on biopics of famous musicians to face criticism. The creators of Walk the Line were condemned by the late Johnny Cash's children for depicting their mother, Cash’s first wife, in an unflattering light. However, given Pistol's subject matter, Rotten's clear resentment is actually a fitting tribute both to the band and the Punk era as a whole.
