The feedback I've heard from those who have seen the preview screenings of it has been unanimously positive.

I'd love to see it at some point.

Jealous of those who have seen it. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to have made something and not be able to bring it to completion due to rights issues. I hope Elizabeth can get it sorted soon.

It went down very well with industry and non-manics fans, as far as I could see, too.

the film is brilliant, i'd think. not what you expect to see in a regular band documentary.

to come here and call it "shit" and whatnot, is a bit ignorant and rude.

there are obvious reasons why it hasnt been released, and we all know them. i, too, wish that it gets the release it deserves, though its out of the team's hands unfortunately.

again, the documentary is excellent. it made my friend, who barely knew the manics, a fan. and as far as i could tell, it was greeted with enthusiasm from everyone.

i've seen this twice already, and trust me when i tell you, it's good.

Oh, okay. I just hope the film finally gets to see the light of day at some point.

Pete is only being supportive and kind to the film makers who hang out on this forum /sarcasm

I would love to see it one day, a great thing to see the progress of the band, you know it's been a VERY long way from Lifeblood to Send Away The Tigers...

Releasing it now with a big hoorah would just feel weird, considering how 'out of date' it is. Either make it a low-key fan release or save it for the inevitable SATT 10th anniversary release DVD.

I wouldn't say it was really 'out of date' though...it's not just about SATT or a specific period.

It revolves a lot around SATT and what the band were feeling around the time, doesn't it? I know it's incorporated later footage as well and talks about the band's history on the side, but I thought it dealt with the SATT period specifically a fair bit. Might be wrong though of course, I kinda stopped following the project sometime around the triassic period.

It does, but it uses it to show the band and the fans, it isn't just a standard documentary about SATT. There's a lot of footage about their history, and it's not as if it's so based on SATT that it would date too much, in my opinion. It might suffer from not having anything about the later albums, but it tells the story of the band and the fans, more than anything.
