Two Green Day documentaries are going to accompany the release of the band’s three upcoming new albums, ‘Uno!’, ‘Dos!’ and ‘Tre!’.
The documentaries are to be made by Tim Lynch, who previously worked with the band on their ‘Bullet In A Bible’ DVD release, and Tim Wheeler.
One of the documentaries is will feature vintage footage of the band from as far back as 1994, before the release of their breakthrough album, ‘Dookie.’ The other is going to be about the making of the three upcoming albums.
The band’s frontman, Billie Joe Armstrong, told Billboard: “It's not going to be the sitting down, head shot of me going, ‘we started out blah blah blah.’
“We wanted to get into lifestyles of rock & roll and playing rock & roll and letting the story kind of tell itself rather than create revisionist [history].”
Armstrong also said that for the last year and a half they have been filming their rehearsals, recording sessions and live performances and they will also film their preparations for tour and festival dates in Japan and Europe.
Executives at the band’s label Warner Bros. say that they are hoping to get the documentary about the making of the records finished for a possible premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.
