The Kinks Movie on the Way

The story of legendary British rock band The Kinks is coming to the big screen - a movie about the group's rise to fame is in the works.

The film, titled You Really Got Me, will be directed by Julien Temple, who is best known for his 2000 Sex Pistols documentary The Filth and the Fury.

The movie will tell the story of the turbulent relationship between The Kinks brothers Ray and Dave Davies.

Temple tells Screen Daily, "At the heart of it is the extraordinary love/hate relationship between these two brothers: love/hate, sibling rivalry is at the core. 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."

Cast details have yet to be announced.
