Led Zeppelin’s iconic Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones have participated in a new documentary celebrating the band’s 50th anniversary. The three rockstars filmed new interviews for director Bernard MacMahon’s project. The film is untitled, and is currently in post-production. The project is slated to be shopped at the Cannes Film Festival.
The movie happens to be the first ever to feature the iconic hard rock group’s participation. The project will also include rare archival interviews with late drummer John Bonham. Those interviews were previously unseen film and photographs.
“When I saw everything Bernard had done both visually and sonically on the remarkable achievement that is ‘American Epic,’ I knew he would be qualified to tell our story,” Page said (via Variety). Plant added, “Seeing Will Shade, and so many other important early American musicians, brought to life on the big screen in ‘American Epic’ inspired me to contribute to a very interesting and exciting story.”
Jones added, “The time was right for us to tell our own story for the first time in our own words, and I think that this film will really bring this story to life.”
