Entourage producer takes over Hell’s Angels movie developed by Tony Scott
In defiance of the ancient prophecy “when gearhead and meathead are one, the end of days has begun,” Entourage writer-producer Rob Weiss is taking over the production of Fox 2000’s Hell’s Angels. The film is based on the life of Hell’s Angels leader and two-time felon Sonny Barger, who rode alongside Jack Nicholson and Adam Roarke in 1967’s Hell’s Angels On Wheels and more recently appeared as Lenny “The Pimp” Janowitz on Sons Of Anarchy. Aside from his acting roles, Barger is legendary among bikers for founding the Oakland chapter of the Hell’s Angels when he was only 18, a position that led to considerable ‘60s counterculture cred—up until the day Sonny and his gang worked security at Altamont, that is.
