Apple Original Films has announced a new documentary on rock royalty Fleetwood Mac. The currently untitled documentary is directed by five-time Academy Award nominee and Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award winner Frank Marshall.
For the first time, the Grammy Award-winning Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees share their extraordinary story in their own words.
“I am fascinated by how this incredible story of enormous musical achievement came about,” said Marshall. “Fleetwood Mac somehow managed to merge their often chaotic and almost operatic personal lives into their own tale in real-time, which then became legend. This will be a film about the music and the people who created it.”
Following their fortuitous meeting in 1974, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks reflect on their uncompromising 50-plus-year history, from their record-breaking recordings and tours — including never-before-seen footage, exclusive new interviews, and archival interviews of the late Christine McVie — through to today. The film will explore how the band’s trials and tribulations, personal resilience, and musical dexterity combined to create songs that have stood the test of time and are enduring masterpieces.
Director Frank Marshall produces through The Kennedy/Marshall Company with White Horse Pictures’ Nicholas Ferrall and Jeanne Elfant Festa, and Kennedy/Marshall’s Aly Parker.
