The iconic British rock band Oasis has made a thrilling announcement: a new film will be produced in conjunction with their highly anticipated reunion tour this year. The film is being created and produced by the acclaimed Steven Knight, known for his work on “Peaky Blinders” and “Locke”, and will be directed by the talented duo Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace, who previously directed the documentary concert film for LCD Soundsystem, “Shut Up and Play the Hits.”
While specific details regarding the film's content remain scarce, the involvement of Southern and Lovelace suggests that fans can expect a hybrid format similar to their previous work. This could potentially blend concert footage with documentary elements, providing an intimate look at the band’s journey as they embark on this exciting reunion tour.
The production of this film will be managed by Magna Studios, with Sam Bridger and Guy Heeley stepping in as producers. Additionally, Marisa Clifford and Kate Shepherd will serve as executive producers, ensuring the project is in capable hands. The film is set to be distributed by Sony Music Vision, with Krista Wegener leading global sales efforts.
The Oasis reunion tour is set to kick off on July 4 in Cardiff, with performances scheduled to span through November. This marks a significant moment for fans, as the band has been largely inactive since their split. The tour promises to deliver classic hits that have defined their career, igniting nostalgia among long-time followers.
In addition to his work on Oasis's upcoming film, Steven Knight has an impressive portfolio. He not only created and produced “Peaky Blinders”, but he also wrote the recent biopic “Maria”, starring Angelina Jolie. His filmography includes critically acclaimed works like David Cronenberg’s “Eastern Promises” and Stephen Frears’ “Dirty Pretty Things”. Furthermore, he produced and directed “Locke”, a film featuring Tom Hardy that garnered significant attention for its unique storytelling.
As of now, no specific release date has been established for the Oasis film, and the announcement indicated that no further details would be released in the immediate future. Fans will have to wait patiently for more information as the band prepares for their reunion tour and the accompanying film project.
Stay tuned for updates on both the film and the tour as Oasis embarks on this exciting new chapter in their storied career.
