The New Coldplay Documentary Was Filmed Over The Course Of Twenty Years

Source - Coldplay is getting the documentary treatment, and it’s landing on Amazon in a month.

A Head Full of Dreams, announced Friday, has been billed as an in-depth and intimate portrait of the British band’s rise, from starting some 20 years ago in the pubs of London to selling out stadiums worldwide. 

The film will be available to stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in the U.K., U.S., Australia and New Zealand on Nov. 16, with local language versions available globally soon after. Preceding the SVOD launch, Trafalgar Releasing will be giving the film a special one-night showing in 2,000 theaters around the world Nov. 14. 

I’m not even a Coldplay fan and I can’t wait to see this. Anytime a documentary shows a famous person before they were famous, I’m all over it. Especially if it’s a music documentary. It humanizes them. Makes you realize they had to bust their asses to get where they are and motivates the hell out of you. Feitelberg blogged about Mumford And Sons the other day and it reminded me of one of my favorite YouTube clips of all time titled, “the moment a singer knows he’s made it.”

All the blood, sweat and tears poured into your craft coming to fruition in a single, defining moment. Kind of like when I trained for Rough N Rowdy and heard five thousand people cheer “eat his ass” as I entered the ring…kind of.

I’m sure this film won’t be as cool as The Defiant Ones, but I’m still going to watch it. Who knows, maybe it’ll make me a fan.
