John Fogerty has shared new details about a planned biopic based on his life and music career, revealing that the project is currently in development. Speaking about the film, Fogerty said a script is being written and noted that Timothée Chalamet would be his preferred choice to portray him on screen.
The comments came as discussions around music biopics continue to grow following several recent releases focused on major artists. Fogerty pointed to Chalamet’s portrayal of Bob Dylan as an example of the actor’s ability to take on a music legend role.
Best known as the singer, songwriter, and guitarist of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Fogerty helped create some of the most recognizable rock songs of the late 1960s and early 1970s. His catalog includes hits that remain popular across radio, film, and live performances decades after their release.
While the biopic remains in the early stages, Fogerty’s comments offer one of the clearest indications yet about how he envisions the project taking shape. No casting decisions or release timeline have been announced.
