A documentary on Ozzy Osbourne titled Wreckage of My Past is in the post-production phase and should be out soon.
The film will be the first release from Jacko Productions, a company started by Ozzy's son Jack. Jack and Ozzy's wife, Sharon, are the film's executive producers.
"I'm trying to paint a realistic picture of who my father is," Jack told Rolling Stone. "I think The Osbournes, to a degree, tarnished the public's perception of my dad as a bit of a senile, funny, bumbling guy. Yeah, my dad can be that guy, but it's not him."
"My dad's not an idiot," Jack continued. "He's nothing short of a genius, in my opinion. He does have huge flaws, and we're trying to really paint an honest picture of that."
The documentary was directed by Mike Piscitelli and was written and produced by Jordan Tappis.
The project has been filming since January 2008 and has collected interviews with all the members of Ozzy's first band Black Sabbath, along with the members of Ozzy's solo bands.
"The hard thing is getting people to be honest and not have it be a fluff piece, because that's not what we're trying to do," Jack concluded.
Wreckage of My Past is due out in theaters in early 2010. Watch a glimpse of the film below.

Newly sober, Ozzy has finally reached a point of clarity as he looks back on a lifetime of unresolved issues, unparalleled success, misdiagnosed diseases, severed ties, and a recurring dependency on drugs and alcohol. Due in theaters early 2010, this is a film about reconciling the past and looking toward the future.
"Wreckage Of My Past", which is being directed by Mike Piscitelli, and written and produced by Jordan Tappis, will be the first release from Jacko Productions, a company started by Ozzy's son Jack.
Jack Osbourne is executive-producing "Wreckage Of My Past" along with his mother, Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy's longtime manager.
Jack and Sharon are financing the film themselves.
"Wreckage Of My Past", filming for which began in January 2008, features interviews with all the principal members of Black Sabbath, the various incarnations of Ozzy's solo band, family and friends. But the trick, Jack says, is getting them to be truthful. "The hard thing is getting people to be honest and not have it be a fluff piece, because that's not what we're trying to do," he told RollingStone.com. "I'm trying to paint a realistic picture of who my father is. I think 'The Osbournes', to a degree, tarnished the public's perception of my dad as a bit of a senile, funny, bumbling guy. Yeah, my dad can be that guy, but it's not him. I think that almost discredited who he is as an artist. My dad's not an idiot -- he's nothing short of a genius, in my opinion. He does have huge flaws, and we're trying to really paint an honest picture of that."
According to Variety, Jack Osbourne has filmed several of his father's concerts, is compiling early archive footage, and working on an interview with Ozzy's first wife. He'll put the footage together with Piscitelli and Tappis before talking to distributors.
"I want people to see John Osbourne as the guy I grew up with, the tormented, complex musician whose personal demons manifest themselves in so many crazy, unique ways," Osbourne said. "He's agreed to it but is putting up his guard, massively afraid of putting his true self out there on display for people to see." - www.blabbermouth.net
