aen27 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Does anyone know any more information about this documentary that Jimmy talks about in his Uncut Interview that has some of his new music? It also has Jack White and the Edge. I don't know if this was discussed somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

croquet'n'cocaine Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I havn't heard about this, can you please post a scan/quote? I started a topic here, which includes the relevent quotes from the interview, but no one seems to know any more about it so far. As I said on that thread, I would have thought this would be huge news on Zep forums, especially as Jimmy says he plays some of his new stuff in the documentary. Any of the Zep experts on here able to help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunChild Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hmm. No. Why not? And if not, then, what documentary is it? (Me, I'm still looking forward to spotting Page in "Valkryie" ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croquet'n'cocaine Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Why not? And if not, then, what documentary is it? Well, the quotes from Jimmy talk about him, The Edge and Jack White - "three generations of guitar players... you got it." And he talks about playing some of his new stuff for the documentary. That doesn't really point to a mass collection of guitarists from all over the shop getting together to play standards. I dunno, I could be wrong. It just doesn't seem to add up, especially as none of the stuff I've read about "Guitar Man" even mentions any of those three players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cactus Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 IMDB isn't an official site and is often inaccurate, so the cast list there may not be fully u to date. Other than that, I can't find any mentions of Page connected to any films coming up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagey_17 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Didnt he talk about recoring music for this?!!!! Intriguing never the less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 "Seven Years On The Couch" The film's title was inspired by "Seven Years In Tibet" and basically it's about an old English rock guitarist who sets aside his passion for music to raise his family. Jack White plays the part of the hip neighbor next door who rekindles his enthusiasm to make music once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllisonAdler Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Eureka! From today's Variety: 'LOUD' ROCKS GUITAR DOCUMENTARY Davis Guggenheim to unveil film at Cannes By PHIL GALLO Posted: Mon., May 5, 2008, 9:00pm PT Davis Guggenheim has completed filming on a documentary that will look at the story of the electric guitar from the point of view of three significant rock musicians: the Edge, Jimmy Page and Jack White. Guggenheim, director-producer of "An Inconvenient Truth" and "Deadwood," directed and co-produced "It Might Get Loud," which Thomas Tull financed and produced. The Little Film Co. will represent the pic in Cannes. Led Zeppelin's Page, U2's the Edge and White, leader of the White Stripes and the Raconteurs, were chosen for their impact across three different generations -- from Page's 1960s days as a session musician and a member of the Yardbirds into the Edge's unique sound developed in the '80s through White's current work. Each explains and demonstrates how he changed the sound of the electric guitar to suit his own style. Pic includes a jam session featuring the three guitarists. Pic was shot in London, Dublin, Nashville and Los Angeles. Bert Ellice and Hyperion Entertainment are exec producers; music supervisor Peter Afterman of Inaudible and Lesley Chilcott, a producer on "An Inconvenient Truth," are also producers.

Cactus Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Here's hoping it's out quickly. The press release said it was 'finished filming' so that means there will be at least a few months for post-production. Then the question is what sort of release it will get - theatrical, festivals, TV or what? Gugenheim is a good director so it should be interesting.

From Wiki: "The 61st Annual Cannes Film Festival will be held 14 to 25 May 2008." So, presumably, it will be ready for showing in just over a week's time. Don't know how long films take to go to general release after these sort of preview showings though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could be trying to sell it at Cannes, so at this stage distribution could be uncertain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don't think it will be a wide-release. It will probably be an indie/documentary-type release and could only be seen in NY and LA. I hope that a more general indie release will make its way to Houston and other larger cities so that more people can have a chance to see it. One other option will be the Sundance and IFC TV channels. They are starting to show indie films very close to release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharmabum Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 One other option will be the Sundance and IFC TV channels. They are starting to show indie films very close to release. Exactly. I just saw Neil Cassady on pay-per-view and that debuted at the Woodstock Film Festival in October of 2007. I'm not sure how long it has been available for.

spmurw Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I work at IFC and haven't heard anything, but it is probably screening at Cannes to pick up distribution. Am sure it will get picked up pretty quickly and hope it is us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Deadwood" was a great show... this sounds wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
