Metallica has a new movie heading to theaters to coincide with their M72 tour dates.
"Metallica Saved My Life", was directed by Grammy-winning filmmaker Jonas Akerlund, will explore their impact on the lives of their fans, much like the Depeche Mode's "Spirits In The Forrest". The film will feature testimonies of Metallica fans, with interviews from the band.
"As a few of you may know, we've been working behind the scenes the last couple of years on a new film that will be released later this year starring you guys!" the band said in a statement. "Metallica Saved My Life explores our world through the lives of fans who have supported each other through highs, lows, trials and triumphs for over four decades. And yeah, we're in it a little bit too. You have the chance to view the film first with a sneak peek at theaters in most of our upcoming tour stops in North America. It's not quite finished yet, but we can't wait for you to see it and let us know what you think. Brought to you by award-winning director Jonas Akerlund, who many fans know from his work with us on 'Turn the Page,' 'Whiskey in the Jar' and 'ManUNkind,' the film will introduce you to fans from all corners of the world and tell their unique stories. You might even be in it!"
Tickets are available now in all of Metallica's tour cities except Columbus, Ohio and are limited to two tickets per person. Metallica's tour will feature Pantera, Suicidal Tendencies, Limp Bizkit and Ice Nine Kills.
