Metallica are casting for a new documentary about their biggest fans

Metallica are calling on their biggest super fans to appear in an upcoming documentary.

An advert has been posted on various places online from Mercury Studios, a part of Universal Music Group who were involved in Metallica’s S&M2 concert film release in 2020.

The advert reads: ‘Has Metallica impacted the course of your life? Have you done wild things to see the band live? Metallica are looking for their strongest family members! We want your story.’

The accompanying QR code takes fans to a Metallica email address at Mercury Studios.

There is also a form RIGHT HERE that asks Metallica aficionados a series of questions about their unwavering fandom.

Questions include: ‘What's the wildest thing you've ever done while listening to Metallica?’, ‘Why do you feel that you're different from other Metallica fans?’ and ‘If there was a movie based on your life, what Metallica song or songs would be on the soundtrack and why?’

Casting director Darren C Moore has also revealed more about the project, writing on the Reality TV Casting Calls Facebook page: “Is Metallica your favourite band? Are you a high profile attorney who has been following Metallica since middle school? Did you devote a whole room of your house to Metallica? Do you owe a significant life accomplishment to their music?

“I’m looking for big personalities, unique characters and unexpected stories from Metallica fans who consider Metallica to be their favourite band, real "5th Member" types. All stories and walks of life are welcome and encouraged to reach out. This is being produced by Metallica and Mercury Studios, Powered by Universal Music Group.”

No more details about the documentary have been released.
