RushIsABand is reporting that filmmaker Sam Dunn, the creative force behind the heavy metal documentary Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey, has received the band’s blessing to produce a documentary. Playbackmag.com has just posted a story on the project:
Boutique distributor Grindstone Media is hoping to have a hit on its hands with Rush: The Documentary. The $1.5 million feature doc about the famed rock band is produced and directed by Scot McFadyen and Sam Dunn. The doc will include new interviews with some of rock’s biggest names — including members of Metallica, Nirvana and Iron Maiden — plus never-before-seen footage shot by singer Geddy Lee himself, which Grindstone hopes will attract Canadian broadcasters.
