Rush Film Due In May?
Band\'s first career spanning documentary due in a couple of months
The long (long, long) awaited Rush documentary, Rush: The Documentary, is due to be released in May.
The film has been two years in the making, and according to Rush fansite Power Windows it has been completed and has been given a tentative DVD release date of 18 May (in the US).
Directed by Sam Dunn and Scot McFadyen, the team behind recent rockumentary classics Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey and Iron Maiden: Flight 666, Rush: The Documentary features contributions from Billy Corgan, Metallica, Trent Reznor, Tool, Foo Fighters, Kiss, Uriah Heep and Primus.
"To be involved in the documentary has been hard from that point of view, because they’re making so much of things we’ve done in the past, and asking questions about details twenty-five, thirty years ago — a lot of them have just gone out of my head. It’s a bit uncomfortable dwelling so much on what has happened. I’m more comfortable looking forward and not being constantly aware of how long I’ve been in the same rock band. The very business of looking back — through archival footage and photographs — can feel 'self-indulgent,” Geddy Lee revealed to Walrus Magazine last month. "You want to spend your time thinking about things other than your own face."
