The Libertines have opened up about the possibility of a biopic, and shared that they have already “tried to sit down and write some screenplays”.While speaking to NME about their upcoming album ‘All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade’ the band’s frontmen – Carl Barât and Pete Doherty – discussed if the band would ever create a biopic of their career.“We’ve talked about it, but then we always have a row about who’s playing who,” Barât said.

Doherty added: “We even tried to sit down and write some screenplays for it, but it always turns into some farcical comedy. There was a musical made in Korea called The Likely Lads.

They said it was going to run and run, but it closed after two nights.”After being asked who would be playing each band member in the potential biopic, Doherty responded: “Now with all this AI, you can just play yourself.

We’d be playing with ourselves, as usual.”Elsewhere in the interview, Doherty opened up about the upcoming documentary based on his life, titled Stranger In My Own Skin.Speaking about the documentary – which was made by his wife and collaborator Katia de Vidas – Doherty said: “It’s quite heavy watching a lot of that stuff, but it is a different time.
