AC/DC fans worldwide seem to be moving one step closer to a film
paying hommage to their late Australian rock hero, Bon Scott. In fact,
it looks more like a giant leap forward.

current controlling production company overseeing Bon Scott - The Legend
Of
AC/DC, are slated to engage in talks this week with one of the
world's leading production and entertainment companies said a source

also the credited screenwriter. Liotti is no stranger to things AC/DC as
he has performed on stage as Bon Scott for many years. And although
this is his first lead feature film role, it has been made apparent that
he is a natural for the role. Also on board the High Voltage team is
director J. R. Getches who brings a great deal of vision and television
experience. The production company also recently announced the addition
of producer Michael Meltzer to its team who is no stranger to Hollywood
