If any rock and roll character is the perfect subject for a movie that character is Motorhead legend Lemmy Kilmister who is the focus of the forthcoming documentary "Lemmy". Greg Olliver and Wes Orshoski directors/producers of "Lemmy" gave AOL an update on the progress of the film and some funny background info: Wes Orshoski says, "We've just emerged from a 32-day stint at a post house in Midtown Manhattan, where we mixed the film and a bunch of the bonus material in 5.1 Surround Sound, and cut the killer crop of extras, which includes plenty of featurettes and live footage — Lemmy's extended jam with Metallica in Nashville and some 'Borat'-style pranks we filmed with Motorhead guitarist Phil Campbell. Just great, great stuff. People are gonna love it! This stuff is only going to be available on the DVD. We wanted to give people every possible reason we could to actually buy the physical product. You kind of have to, in this day and age."
Later in the interview Greg Olliver related, "I was surprised that he yelled at me for being drunk. We were in Las Vegas and came back to the hotel casino after a long night of drinking and found Lemmy working one of the slot machines. I said 'Hey Lem.' And he said, 'Ahh, get away from me. You guys are drunk.' I belly laughed all the way back to my room, because I got yelled at by Lemmy for drinking!"
