Apple Original Films announced on Tuesday the “definitive” and still-untitled new documentary of Fleetwood Mac, directed by five-time Academy Award nominee and Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Oscar winner Frank Marshall (“The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart,” “The Beach Boys,” “Rather”). “For the first time ever, Grammy Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Fleetwood Mac share their extraordinary story in their own words.”
While the band has inspired a number of documentaries over the years, none have been fully authorized and with the participation of all the band’s living members.
Per the announcement, the film will follow “their fortuitous meeting in 1974” and see Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks “reflect on their uncompromising fifty-plus-year history, from their record-breaking recordings and tours — including never-before-seen footage, exclusive new interviews, and archival interviews of the late Christine McVie — through to today. The film will explore how the band’s trials and tribulations, personal resilience, and musical dexterity combined to create songs that have not only stood the test of time but are indeed timeless masterpieces.”
