Rockers Motley Crue are looking for a new company to produce a film based on their best-selling autobiography Dirt - after the band severed ties with music channel MTV following several delays to the project.

The band originally signed up with MTV Films and Paramount to make the movie, which will focus on the group's rise to fame and their life in the public eye.

But after a series of postponements, the band have now ditched the deal and are searching for another company to work with on the film.

Bassist Nikki Sixx tells Blabbermouth.net, "We're trying to get them (MTV) out of the way to make this movie that should have been made a long time ago. MTV has become bogged down in its own way. It's a channel that used to be hip and has now actually become unhip. We signed with them because we believed they were right, but they haven't come to the table. We need to find the right partner. They are not the right partner."
