Tell Me :
Talk
exactly...it's like the Ladies & Gents, CS Blues & Checkerboard Lounge...we've all had it on VHS for 20+ years...
"widely unseen by the average Joe"...is how it should read...
But what have they actually done in the last 25 years that's worthy of a lot of coverage? A few OK albums that haven't produced a single genuine classic between them and a series of stadium tours. Surely nothing that had the impact and influence of the first decade which is why that always gets the focus. I would doubt that they would in any way explore the relationship between Mick and Keith that has been a bar to any real creative development since the early 80s either. There's a lot to gloss over from the last 30 years if you want to present them as a functional unit and I'd be surprised if the film does anything other than that. Don't get me wrong - I'm looking forward to it, just saying I'm perfectly happy that it will probably focus on the early years.
Imagine being born in it though.
It's gonna happen for someone.

CROSSFIRE HURRICANE – A NEW FILM FROM THE ROLLING STONES
The Rolling Stones, the rock ‘n’ roll icons who have defined creativity, daring and durability, are to be chronicled in a kaleidoscopic new film that documents the key periods of their career and their incredible adventures.
Crossfire Hurricane, directed by Brett Morgen, provides a remarkable new perspective on the Stones’ unparalleled journey from blues-obsessed teenagers in the early 60’s to rock royalty. It’s all here in panoramic candour, from the Marquee Club to Hyde Park, from Altamont to Exile, from club gigs to stadium extravaganzas.
The film in the UK will receive a theatrical release and can be seen by Stones fans in selected cinemas across the country in October. It will also be premiered on HBO in the USA and broadcast on BBC Two later in the year.
With never-before-seen footage and fresh insights from the band themselves, the film will delight, shock and amaze longtime devotees, as well as another generation of fans, with its uniquely immersive style and tone. Crossfire Hurricane places the viewer right on the frontline of the band’s most legendary escapades.
Taking its title from a lyric in “Jumping Jack Flash”, Crossfire Hurricane gives the audience an intimate insight, for the first time, into exactly what it’s like to be part of the Rolling Stones, as they overcame denunciation, drugs, dissensions and death to become the definitive survivors. It’s the backstage pass to outdo them all.
The odyssey includes film from the Stones’ initial road trips and first controversies as they became the anti-Beatles, the group despised by authority because they connected and communicated with their own generation as no one ever had. “When we got together,” says Wyman, “something magical happened, and no one could ever copy that.”
From the outset of the film, viewers know they’re in for a white-knuckle ride. No sooner had the early Stones line-up first played live under that name in the summer of 1962 than they were bigger than the venues that tried to hold them. Wyman remembers how the crowds were soon inspiring manic behaviour, especially among screaming girls, whose uncontrollable excitement was obvious as stardom beckoned for the band already earmarked as the bad guys with press headlines, “Would you let your daughter marry a Rolling Stone?”
Riots and the chaos of early tours are graphically depicted, as is the birth of the Jagger-Richards songwriting partnership. The many dramas they encountered are also fully addressed, including the Redlands drug bust, the descent of Brian Jones into what Richards calls “bye-bye land,” and the terror and disillusionment of 1969’s Altamont Festival.
The band’s rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle is also discussed with extraordinary forthrightness, including at the time of their seminal 1972 album Exile On Main St, which topped the British charts both then and 38 years later with its deluxe reissue. Their very survival repeatedly under threat, we see how the Stones survived with a backs-to-the-wall spirit. “We may be going down,” says Keith, “but we’re not going down your way.”
The film illustrates the Stones’ evolution from being, as Mick vividly describes it, “the band everybody hated to the band everybody loves”: through the hedonistic 1970s and Keith’s turning-point bust in Canada to the spectacular touring phenomenon we know today. Richards also reveals the song that he believes defines the “essence” of his writing relationship with Jagger more than any other.
Asked in a formative interview in the film what it is that sets them apart from other groups, Jagger says with quiet understatement: “A chemical reaction seems to have happened.” Keith Richards added, “You can’t really stop the Rolling Stones, you know when that sort of avalanche is facing you, you just get out of the way”. It’s been happening ever since, and the life and times of the Rolling Stones have never been as electrifyingly portrayed as they are in Crossfire Hurricane.
Director Brett Morgen added, “Crossfire Hurricane invites the audience to experience firsthand the Stones’ nearly mythical journey from outsiders to rock and roll royalty. This is not an academic history lesson. Crossfire Hurricane allows the viewer to experience the Stones’ journey from a unique vantage point. It’s an aural and visual roller coaster ride.”
Worldwide distributors of Crossfire Hurricane are Eagle Rock Entertainment in London, with Tremelo Productions and Milkwood Films as the production companies.
Eagle Rock Entertainment Chairman and CEO, Terry Shand said: “We are very pleased to continue our association with the Rolling Stones visual rights agenda and their collaboration with such great filmmakers.”
As befits the first rock band to reach the 50-year milestone with their global stature now greater than ever, the film combines extensive historical footage, much of it widely unseen, with contemporary commentaries by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Ronnie Wood and former Stones Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor. Period interviews, extensive live performance material and news archive give the production a truly kinetic aura and no-holds-barred approach. Crossfire Hurricane has taken over a year to make and produce with the full cooperation of The Rolling Stones and will be released in November.

Is this for the next generation or for the departing generation?

Looking forward to this one!
I mean the stories are all known but the key here is how they transport them.
Morgan could be able to do something good and interesting again.

Title is cheesy and doesn't befit a 50 year old band. I would have called it:.
The World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band*
* Offer not valid in Sweden.
F*** Sweden would also have been a good title.

Long time before many here became fans there was something dangerous about the Stones. So the title for me still fits.
BTW. personally I can't imagine I'd become a Stonesfan during those "Vegas" years.
There was something very different about that band in the 60/70's . .

Hmm.. a lot is promised, but let's review the bugger not until it is seen...
But I suspect Brian Jones fans are not too happy with the advertised content so far... But let us hope that Brian's positive significance to the band is also covered, not just his downhill.

I'm ready to give this a fair chance. When you remove the 50th factor - this sounds like what we SHOULD have be given with Shine a Light. 25 x 5 was fantastic for it's time, but focused too much on the 60s (aka, before I was born). I hope this is more than "long, boring, black and white Brian years -> Altamont -> mooooore Exlie -> Toronto Bust -> 80's/90's/00's barely mentioned" like most of their bio books/films, etc.
Hmm, I wonder how much Exile recording will be covered since just 2 years ago we had a whole film dedicated to that? (speaking of, I've not seen it yet since many here at the time said "don't bother").

Hm. Ok I'll be the moaning Brian Jones fan again. It would be nice to hear and see some new angle on him and also on his relationship with Anita and his role in the 60s pop and art scene. Not just the same story about him being some druggy moron who let poor ol Keith down.
Another thing is the Jagger/Richards songwriting. We know a lot more today than we did in 1989 (25x5). I mean Richards is not the only "riffmaster" (Jagger came up with some great ones as did Ronnie, Brian and Bill) and the Glimmers did not write everything and were clearly influenced by others (Cooder being one). Not moaning just saying it would be nice to see a more daring documentary, something that challenges them as well as the viewer. No PC fairytale about the fallen members (Jones, Taylor) but neither the same old corporate BS.

Hollyweird Reporter saying
The Rolling Stones' 'Crossfire Hurricane' to Premiere on HBO
8:13 AM PDT 8/30/2012 by Erin Carlson
The film, which documents the rock band's career highs and lows, will air Nov. 15 on HBO.
A new Rolling Stones documentary, Crossfire Hurricane, will debut Nov. 15 on HBO while the band celebrates its 50th anniversary with rumored concerts in London and Brooklyn, N.Y.
Crossfire Hurricane -- the title Stones fans may recognize as a lyric from the song "Jumping Jack Flash" -- features footage from the Mick Jagger-fronted group's storied history on the road as young rock rebels to Keith Richards' 1977 arrest in Canada for heroin possession to the recent tours that showed the aging rockers still going strong.
The film, directed by Brett Morgen, "gives the audience an intimate insight, for the first time, into exactly what it’s like to be part of the Rolling Stones, as they overcame denunciation, drugs, dissensions and death to become the definitive survivors. It’s the backstage pass to outdo them all," said a release.
Jagger, Richards, Charlie Watts, Ronnie Wood and ex-Stones Billy Wyman and Mick Taylor offer contemporary insights in interviews for Crossfire.
Here's Jagger's response to a question on what set the Stones apart from other groups: "A chemical reaction seems to have happened.” To which Richards responds: "You can't really stop the Rolling Stones, you know when that sort of avalanche is facing you, you just get out of the way."
The movie will also be released in select theaters in the U.K., and broadcast on BBC 2 later in the year.
Eagle Rock Entertainment in London is the film's distributor, while Tremelo Productions and Milkwood Films are the producers.
If Billboard's sources are correct, an HBO premiere would coincide with Stones concerts at Brooklyn's Barclays Center and London's O2 arena in November. The band last toued in 2007, and the concert dates would celebrate their hallmark 50th anniversary.

If Billboard's sources are correct, an HBO premiere would coincide with Stones concerts at Brooklyn's Barclays Center and London's O2 arena in November. The band last toued in 2007, and the concert dates would celebrate their hallmark 50th anniversary.

i think there should be a documentary series on each Stone. Starting with Stu.
it should be on BBC and PBS, and a different filmmaker should do each one.

“We may be going down,” says Keith, “but we’re not going down your way.”
I used to watch a series that traced the history of various musicians and other artists. And they all had the same theme -
Rise to fame
On top
Drug/alcohol abuse/plane crash
Rehab
Survived or died.
Considering everything, except for Brian Jones and Mick Taylor, the RS have done really well. They all seem to have everything they wanted.

'Richards also reveals the song that he believes defines the “essence” of his writing relationship with Jagger more than any other.'
Let's start guessing: I'd say Midnight Rambler.
Just as long as the guitar plays, let it steal your heart away

I'm ready to give this a fair chance. When you remove the 50th factor - this sounds like what we SHOULD have be given with Shine a Light. 25 x 5 was fantastic for it's time, but focused too much on the 60s (aka, before I was born). I hope this is more than "long, boring, black and white Brian years -> Altamont -> mooooore Exlie -> Toronto Bust -> 80's/90's/00's barely mentioned" like most of their bio books/films, etc.
Hmm, I wonder how much Exile recording will be covered since just 2 years ago we had a whole film dedicated to that? (speaking of, I've not seen it yet since many here at the time said "don't bother").
But what have they actually done in the last 25 years that's worthy of a lot of coverage? A few OK albums that haven't produced a single genuine classic between them and a series of stadium tours. Surely nothing that had the impact and influence of the first decade which is why that always gets the focus. I would doubt that they would in any way explore the relationship between Mick and Keith that has been a bar to any real creative development since the early 80s either. There's a lot to gloss over from the last 30 years if you want to present them as a functional unit and I'd be surprised if the film does anything other than that. Don't get me wrong - I'm looking forward to it, just saying I'm perfectly happy that it will probably focus on the early years.

Imagine being born in it though.
It's gonna happen for someone.
