The last music related film that I saw and thoroughly enjoyed was FOO FIGHTERS: BACK AND FORTH. Before that it was IT MIGHT GET LOUD. I actually went to the theater to see that one. Rock docs and films are some of my favorites. I haven’t seen everything but I’m working my way through them.
I can tell you I’m definitely interested in METALLICA THROUGH THE NEVER even before I saw this first trailer. The music flick is a blend of live concert footage and a story starring Dane Dehaan (THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2, CHRONICLE). Here are some details from the official press release: ” Featuring dazzling pyrotechnics, the most elaborate live-performance stage ever built and imagery drawn from the band’s trailblazing iconography, the immersive 360-degree show creates a mind-bending, ear-shattering mirror image of the destruction and chaos of Trip’s journey. Metallica Through the Never’s state-of-the-art 3-D photography, captured using up to 24 cameras simultaneously, engulfs audiences in one of the most innovative andexciting cinematic experiences ever imagined.”
When I was little my parents would blast Metallica as I sat in the backseat of a small Honda Accord. I loathed the band (along with Megadeath) for the longest time because of this. Finally I found piece about 10 years ago, and can rock along with the best of them now.
Check out the trailer below and teaser poster below.
Synopsis: Trip, a young roadie sent on an urgent mission during Metallica’s roaring live set in front of a sold-out arena. As the band performs its most iconic songs for thousands of their fans in a never-before-seen performance created exclusively for the film, Trip is dispatched outside the arena to meet a disabled delivery truck and recover a mysterious item being transported to the show. But the seemingly simple assignment turns into a surreal adventure when his car is hit by an out-of-control driver. Trip, dazed and bruised, climbs out of his van only to find himself pitched in the middle of a tense standoff between angry protesters and charging riot police. In the ensuing mayhem, a vicious masked horseman sets his murderous eye on Trip while delivering indiscriminate deathblows to rioters and cops alike. Fleeing through the desolate, post-apocalyptic urban streetscape, Trip has only his wits toprotect him as he attempts to deliver the band’s precious cargo and avoid becoming the horseman’s next victim.
