The movie will chronicle the band's 1972 double album which they recorded in France in a haze of drugs and alcohol, reports a website.

Styles's resemblance to the legendary musician got noticed while filming a movie called "Dunkirk".

"He's about 10 years too young, but make-up and special effects can sort that out," a source said.
