The first came this morning when it was confirmed that there will be not one but TWO documentaries released next year. The first will be the making of the album trilogy - filmmakers Tim Lynch and co will follow them around when they are rehearsing for the various shows they will be playing and filming a sort of 'day in the life of three rockstars' type thing.
Billie told Billboard.com (where the news was confirmed) :
"It's not going to be the sitting down, head shot of me going 'We started out blah blah blah'. We wanted to get into the lifestyles of rock n roll and playing rock n roll and letting the story kind of tell itself rather than create revisionist (history)"
The boys are also said to have teamed up with Samuel Bayer, who directed the videos for American Idiot, Boulevard Of Broken Dreams/Holiday, Jesus of Suburbia and Wake Me Up When September Ends, and he also directed their live DVD 'Bullet In A Bible'.
The second of the documentaries is made up of footage from Dookie Era so it will be interesting to go from one era to the other with the documentaries - as a way to compare how they were when they first worked with Rob Cavallo and how they are now.
Executives at Warner Bros are hoping that they will be ready by the beginning of next year just in time for the Sundance Film Festival. So fingers crossed!
In the meantime we have so much more to look forward to...definitely making up for lost time!
(My next post will reveal the other stuff announced today so stay tuned!)
