Though a Kinks musical has recently been canceled, a movie about the band is set to be made.
The film, which has a tentative title of You Really Got Me, is being directed by Julien Temple, who has directed a documentary about the Sex Pistols.
Kinks frontman Ray Davies is involved in the project, which will center around his tempestuous relationship with his brother, Dave.
"At the heart of it is the extraordinary love-hate relationship between these two brothers: love/hate, sibling rivalry is at the core," Temple told Screen Daily.
He added, "I think it's a very rich social, cultural nexus around The Kinks. Their story is the untold story of all those big bands of the 1960s."
