It does looks like Metallica are creating a truly unique event with their upcoming movie and I, for one, will definitely keeping an eye out as they were an early fascination through my older brothers music collection – Especially live versions – and so this one could be truly original. We hope! It get that full effect, it’s due to be released exclusively on IMAX on October 4th and now we’ve got a bit more official information for you below or for all our coverage so far, click here.
Award-winning filmmaker Nimród Antal (Predators, Kontroll) creates a groundbreaking 3-D motion picture event, METALLICA: THROUGH THE NEVER. The music-driven feature film combines a bold narrative and spectacular live performance footage of one of the most popular and influential rock bands in history to produce a bracing, raw and visceral cinematic experience. Emerging young star Dane DeHaan (THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES, CHRONICLE) portrays 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.
Metallica have also released the details of ‘Metallica Through The Never (Music from the Motion Picture)’ the soundtrack companion to the forthcoming film. The two disc CD set and digital version will be released on Blackened / Vertigo on September 23rd, featuring spectacular live renditions of Metallica favourites such as ‘One’, ’For Whom The Bell Tolls’,‘Enter Sandman’, ‘Ride The Lightning’ and ‘Nothing Else Matters’ to name a few.
You can now pre-order an exclusive bundle only from the Official Store. The bundle features the two-disc CD, an official METALLICA: THROUGH THE NEVER movie poster and T-shirt.
