‘Becoming Led Zeppelin’ Doc Acquired for Theatrical Release by Sony Classics, With Footage Added Since Festival Premiere
Rock doc 'Becoming Led Zeppelin,' which had a rough-cut festival screening three years ago, has been fleshed out and picked up by Sony Classics.
Added producer/co-writer Allison McGourty, “Sony Pictures Classics are the perfect partners because they are true believers in the theatrical experience and are passionate about giving the millions of Led Zeppelin fans a chance to see and hear them on the greatest screens and sound systems in the world.” Notably, a crude version of some of that footage disappeared from YouTube around the time it was reportedly being snatched up by the film team, as did other clips it was believed the documentary was acquiring for the refreshed cut. The production company is Paradise Pictures in association with Big Beach, with a list of executive producers that includes Michael Clark, Alex Turtletaub, Duke Erikson, Cynthia Heusing, David Kistenbroker, Simon Moran and Ged Doherty.
