Plan B to Adapt Mark Ronson’s Wild ’90s DJ Memoir NIGHT PEOPLE Into a Feature Film

Mark Ronson’s new memoir Night People: How to Be a DJ in ’90s New York City just hit shelves, and it’s already on its way to becoming a movie. Plan B, the production company behind hits like F1, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and the Emmy-winning Netflix series Adolescence, has scooped up the rights to adapt the book into a feature film.

The memoir dives into Ronson’s formative years before he became the superstar producer behind Bruno Mars and Amy Winehouse, the Oscar-winning “Shallow” from A Star is Born, and the chart-topping soundtrack to Barbie.

In Night People, Ronson reflects on the chaos, energy, and music of ’90s New York, painting a picture of a scene that shaped him into the artist he is today.

Talking to Variety ahead of the book’s release, Ronson admitted just how much went into writing it. “It ate my life,” he said. “[But] I had to write it for some reason.” With 245 songs woven into the narrative, the book became a huge undertaking.

“There were times along the way you put so much effort into something and you’re just like, ‘What is this for?’” Ronson explained. “I’ve turned down production gigs left and right and whatever else it is, but I am proud of it in the way that it’s as good as I could have made it with my whatever, my writing talents.”

Despite the heavy workload, Ronson still found time to curate the Emmy-nominated SNL 50: The Homecoming Concert alongside Lorne Michaels, bringing together a lineup of legendary musical acts for a one-night-only celebration.

Given the Plan B’s track record and Ronson’s colorful journey through the wild world of ’90s New York nightlife, this project has all the makings of something special.
