Sublime Biopic Finds Its Bradley Nowell

The highly anticipated Sublime biopic has found its lead, and it’s none other than Riverdale star KJ Apa.

Apa will bring to life the iconic frontman Bradley Nowell in the as-yet-untitled film, directed by Justin Chon. This cinematic tribute to Sublime’s legacy boasts an impressive production team, including surviving band members Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson, Bradley’s son and current Sublime frontman Jakob Nowell, and Bradley’s widow Troy, all serving as producers.

Bradley Nowell’s tragic story is one of talent, struggle, and untimely loss. His battle with addiction ultimately claimed his life on May 25th, 1996, just two months shy of the release of Sublime’s breakout self-titled album. That album would go on to achieve platinum certification and cement the band’s place in music history. One of the more tragic twists in rock and roll history.

With the involvement of key figures from Sublime’s inner circle, fans can expect an authentic and heartfelt portrayal of Bradley’s life and legacy. KJ Apa’s transformation into Nowell will undoubtedly be eagerly anticipated, and Justin Chon’s direction will likely bring depth and nuance to the story.

As production moves forward, fans are eagerly awaiting more details about the film’s release and storyline. Will it explore Sublime’s early days, their unique blend of ska, punk, and reggae, or Bradley’s struggles with addiction? One thing is certain: this biopic will be a must-see for Sublime enthusiasts and music lovers alike.
