Thanks to Frank Marshall, Fleetwood Mac is finally getting the documentary treatment.
Marshall, the man behind Music Files The Bee Gees: How to Heal a Broken Heart and beach boyswill guide what publisher Apple describes as the band’s first fully licensed document.
The untitled documentary will see Fleetwood Mac “share their extraordinary stories in their own words,” Tuesday’s announcement said, adding that the film will feature never-before-seen footage, exclusive new interviews, as well as archival interviews with the late Christine McVeigh. (McVeigh died in 2022 at the age of 79.)
Fleetwood Mac, consisting of members Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, John McVie, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, is one of the best-selling bands in the world, with such names as tusk and rumor and tracks like “Rhiannon” and “Landslide.” The band also became synonymous with infighting, and the relationship drama between band members seeped into their music.
“I’m fascinated by the story of how this incredible and monumental musical achievement came to be. Fleetwood Mac managed to weave their chaotic and almost operatic personal lives into their own story in real time and became legendary. . This will be a movie about music and the people who make it,” Marshall said.
Marshall will also produce the film through Kennedy/Marshall and Nicholas Ferrall of White Horse Pictures.The Beatles: Eight days a week) and Jeanne Elfont Festa (Apollo), and Elle Parker of Kennedy/Marshall. Cassidy Hartman of White Horse and Tony Rosenthal of Kennedy/Marshall serve as executive producers. Mark Munroe of “Diamond Doctors” serves as writer and executive producer.
