Former anti-establishment rocker Johnny Rotten (also known as Johnny Lydon) is now an executive producer, but don’t confuse him for a suit, because he’s just as wildly dressed as ever. The man has landed in Toronto at Pearson International Airport and later was interviewed by George Stroumboulopoulos—he’s in town for the premiere of the film he produced, Sons of Norway, which premieres tonight at the Scotiabank Theatre. The film explores humour in tragedy and strength in music, and we expect the Sex Pistols to be a heavy favourite on the soundtrack. The real question on our minds is, will it rival the Bodyguard soundtrack?
