According to the BBC, founding members Mick Jones and Paul Simonon will serve as executive producers, while English playwright and film writer/director Jez Butterworth (Jerusalem, Mojo) will be in charge of the script.

“Fans of The Clash all over the world have been waiting a long time to see their extraordinary story played out properly and accurately on the big screen,” said Owen.
