Based on Matlock’s 1990 tell-all novel ‘I Was A Teenage Sex Pistol’, the film will follow Matlock’s journey as a Pistols founding member and a musician who wrote 10 of the 12 iconic tracks on their only studio album, ‘Never Mind the Bollocks’ as well as provided bass and backing vocals on ‘Anarchy in the U.K’, before leaving the band in 1977.
