Bowie Biopic Interest Reported as V&A Prepares Archive for Public Debut

Ronson reports studio interest in her memoir, with the V&A set to open a public archive of Bowie’s work on September 13.

Overview

  • Suzi Ronson, the stylist who helped craft Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust look, told The Sun her memoir has been auctioned for a potential film deal but not yet sold.
  • Tabloid reports describe studio interest and a possible bidding war, with suggestions the prospective film would address Ronson’s claimed one-night stand with Bowie.
  • The film talk remains unconfirmed beyond Ronson’s account, and no contract or production details have been announced.
  • Archivists uncovered an unfinished Bowie project titled The Spectator, described in notes as an 18th‑century musical, found locked in his study after his death.
  • The V&A will display The Spectator and more than 90,000 items—including instruments, handwritten lyrics such as Fame and Heroes, Ziggy-era costumes, and examples of his cut‑up writing method—at the David Bowie Centre opening September 13 in Hackney Wick.
