The Mars Volta Doc Trailer Traces Heartbreak, Betrayal, and Redemption
‘Omar and Cedric: If This Ever Gets Weird,’ a doc about the Mars Volta creators, heads to select theaters on Nov. 20, see an exclusive trailer.
The documentary focuses on bandmates and friends Omar Rodríguez-López and Cedric Bixler-Zavala ’s lives and musical partnerships in seminal bands including the Mars Volta and At the Drive-In. “We understand people will have direct questions for us, but we just point them to Nick’s film which holds all of the answers,” Rodríguez-López and Bixler-Zavala tell Rolling Stone. But even for those unfamiliar with the incredible intensity of their music and live sets, their candid personal stories are engrossing, with each sharing their battles with racism, being outcasts, drug addictions, devastating deaths, betrayals, and a turn with Scientology (Bixler-Zavala’s wife Chrissie is one of the women who accused That ‘70s Show actor Danny Masterson of rape), before ultimately finding redemption.
