The Stone Roses: Made of Stone
Why we’re excited…
‘This is England’ director Shane Meadows was handpicked by Stone Roses singer Ian Brown to document the band’s 2012 reunion tour. Following the Roses from first practices to warm-up gigs to their triumphant return at Manchester’s Heaton Park, ‘Made of Stone’ is a love letter to one of this country’s most important and beloved bands. And given their reputation for backstage (and sometimes on-stage) argy-bargy, expect there to be a few twists and turns along the way.
What could go wrong?
Well, they’ve never been the most reliable live band, so some of the concert footage may be a touch – shall we say – imperfect. And Meadows is a confessed Roses obsessive, so he might not have the emotional distance that great documentary making often demands. But what would a Shane Meadows film be without someone getting overexcited and making a mess of things – even the director?
When’s it out?
