Also director McG and producer Mark Canton, who are working on the biopic about the band, were there to talk about their project. “Kiss is the most exciting band in the history of rock and roll,” McG said. “More than any other band in history, there was rock and roll before Kiss and then there was rock and roll after Kiss.” The director stated that they were still in the casting process, looking for actors capable of recreating the intensity of the band’s performances on stage. No further information on the production schedule or release date was provided.
