The biopic is being written and directed by “Portlandia” star and founding member of the band “Sleater-Kinney, Carrie Brownstein. Ann Wilson is working with the movie company Amazon and “Sleepless In Seattle” producer, Linda Obst. As for the story, it covers the Heart sisters Ann and Nancy’s life from childhood through the 90′s. Ann added, “I saw the first draft of the script, it’s really cool.” Although no actors have signed on to the project yet, Anne Hathaway has expressed interest in portraying Ann Wilson in the movie, but according to Ann, she “isn’t exactly right for it.”.

At this point, the project is in development and no title or release date has been set.
