Led Zeppelin is coming back to the big screen!
Becoming Led Zeppelin, is the long-awaited documentary, which tells the story of Led Zeppelin's early days, in a more official way than its been done before. There are many Zeppelin documentaries out there, but none have been made by the band itself.
The film premiered at the Venice International Film Festival back in 2021, but has been re-titled and re-edited, since then.
The film will be limited to IMAX theatres,
"The cinematic power of IMAX paired with the film’s authentic sound creates an immersive and transportive viewing experience letting audiences feel like they are there, in the venues with the band," says director Bernard MacMahon.
The last time Zep was on the big screen was back in the 70's for the release of their iconic concert film "The Song Remains The Same", which is considered one of the greatest concert films of all time.
"I had a mind-blowing experience seeing Led Zeppelin for the first time in August 1969 at the Texas International Pop Festival in Grapevine, Texas and it has stayed with me ever since," says Sony Pictures co-president and co-founder Tom Bernard. "This legendary group merits a spectacular North American theatrical release of this incredible film! I cannot think of a single movie that more brilliantly draws you into an artist’s story, shows you how their music was made, and makes you experience it as if it were brand new. I know it will be inspirational to young people and legacy-defining for generations to come.”
