A brand new Led Zeppelin documentary is coming our way soon.
The documentary, directed by Bernard MacMahon (American Epic), will mark the band’s 50th anniversary and will cover the band’s early years, chronicling the period from their formation in 1968 to their chart-topping second studio album Led Zeppelin II.
The feature will be the first documentary to get an official blessing from the band and will include brand new interviews with guitarist Jimmy Page, vocalist Robert Plant, and bassist John Paul Jones, as well as archival interviews with the Led Zeppelin’s late drummer John Bonham.
The press release also promises to feature never-before-seen footage and to be “the definitive telling of the birth of the world’s biggest selling rock band.”
The documentary is currently in postproduction and will be offered to distributors at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.
“When I saw everything Bernard had done both visually and sonically on the remarkable achievement that is American Epic, I knew he would be qualified to tell our story,” Page said in a statement.
“Seeing Will Shade, and so many other important early American musicians, brought to life on the big screen in American Epic, inspired me to contribute to a very interesting and exciting story,” added Plant.
