In a post on the group's official Instagram account on July 13, Crowded House revealed that they're working on the 'definitive documentary' about the band's 'past and future.'
'Are you a longtime fan or journalist with rare footage or audio of Crowded House and its original members—, , and ? Maybe you captured a backstage moment, an interesting audio or video interview, or candid footage over the years? If so, we'd love to hear from you!' the post reads.
'We're working on a definitive documentary about the band past and future, and are searching for unique, unseen journalist or fan recorded material—the kind of audio footage that shows a different side of Crowded House and the musicians that played with them over the years,' it continues.
'🎶 We're especially keen to find old audio and footage from interviews, film rushes and outtakes, behind-the-scenes clips, and unaired gems. We are also interested in concert footage prior to 1997,' the post continues.
The post ends by asking fans who have 'something special tucked away' to go to a link the band shared in their IG Story, and to tag fellow fans 'who might have something amazing!'Crowded House, which rose from the ashes of leader Neil Finn's previous band, Split Enz, has had a career that has been filled with heartbreak and triumph. Co-founder, drummer Paul Hester had problems juggling the life of a touring musician and a father to a new daughter and quit the band in 1994. In 2005, he died by suicide at the age of 46.
Over the years the band's lineup also included fellow former Split Enz member , Neil's older brother, while the band's current lineup includes Neil Finn's two sons, and , as well as original member Nick Seymour and one-time producer Mitchell Froom.
Some fans responded to the Instagram post with possible finds.
'Oh I wish - sadly only some poor quality Kodak photos from the WOMAD festival in 1993 as a wide eyed 15 year old, as part of our elective music school trip. I hope this gig makes it into the doco, it was something quite special!' wrote one fan.
'I have some great stuff from A Day On The Green,' added another, referring to the band's 2022 tour.

‘South Park' Global Fans Furious as Show Pulled From Paramount+ Amid Licensing Dispute
International fans of Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny were left reeling last week after South Park was pulled off streaming service Paramount+ amid an ongoing licensing dispute between the show's creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and Comedy Central's parent company, Paramount Global. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Paramount+'s international license to stream episodes of the long-running animated series has expired, forcing the streamer to pull the show off its global service. Outside the U.S., Paramount+ is available in the English-speaking territories of Canada, Australia, the U.K. and Ireland; in France, Italy and German-speaking Europe; in Japan, and across Latin America. More from The Hollywood Reporter Kanye "Ye" West Struggles Through Chaotic, Rain-Soaked Shanghai Concert 'Superman' Star Nicholas Hoult Takes on New Role as Save the Children Ambassador 'Better Go Mad in the Wild,' 'Bidad,' 'Sand City,' 'Forensics' Win Karlovy Vary Festival Awards Threads on the South Park subreddit and social media have lit up with foul-mouthed complaints from international fans, most of them directed at Paramount and David Ellison's Skydance Media, whose $8 billion buyout of Paramount is at the heart of the South Park dispute. 'wtf. 100 % cancelling my subscription now,' noted user @emale27. 'The only reason I had Paramount+ was to watch South Park. I just canceled,' concurred @jaywinner. 'How does one go about setting Paramount on fire?'' asked @Acceptable-Bid-1019, prompting another user, @probably420stoned to quip: 'They've basically just done this themselves.' Amid threats to cancel their Paramount+ subscriptions, devotees of the long-running animated series from Canada, Australia, France, Germany and elsewhere traded tips on how to watch the show, legally or otherwise, from their respective territories. Paramount+ still has the rights to stream South Park specials internationally. South Park remains on the air on Paramount's Comedy Central channels worldwide, whose footprint spans most of Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Australia/New Zealand. Paramount's ad-supported streaming service also carries the show in several territories, including Canada, Latin America and select European countries. Back episodes are available for purchase on other services, including Apple TV and Amazon Prime. In some territories, including Germany and the Latin American region, back episodes are available to stream, ad-supported, on a stand-alone South Park website. That fragmented global access was not what Paramount had in mind ahead of the season 27 premiere of South Park, which is set to bow on Comedy Central in the U.S. and internationally on July 23, two weeks later than originally planned. Sources close to Paramount told THR the studio remains in negotiations and hopes to have the show back on Paramount+ soon. Talks over a new South Park streaming deal, to replace its now-expired five-year pact with Warner Bros. Discovery's HBO Max, have stalled amid Paramount's protracted sale to Skydance. As first reported by The Hollywood Reporter last month, Parker and Stone, through their Park County business entity, threatened legal action against Paramount. Park County accuses incoming president Jeff Shell, currently chairman of sports and media at Skydance investor Redbird Capital Partners, of interfering with their contract negotiations with Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) and Netflix to modify certain terms 'to benefit Paramount at the expense' of Park County. It pointed to Shell pushing WBD to give Paramount+ an exclusive 12-month window for new episodes of the show and to shorten the term of the licensing deal from 10 to five years. A representative for Skydance released a statement dismissing the allegations. 'Any accusation that Jeff Shell tried to lower the price or devalue the franchise in any way is not only nonsensical but patently false,' the statement reads. 'Under the terms of the transaction agreement, Skydance has the right to approve material contracts.' Paramount has two years left on its $900 million licensing deal for South Park but without unified international streaming rights, many global fans of the potty-mouthed kids from Colorado will remain frustrated. But that doesn't mean they've lost their sense of humor. 'The silver lining of all this merger crap,' noted @Kalse1229 on the South Park subreddit, 'is that it's gonna make for an excellent South Park takedown.'

Corrections: July 15, 2025
An article on Monday about how deep-sea cables that power the world are made misstated how much it cost to build a vessel, the Monna Lisa. It was about 250 million euros, not 30 million. In addition, the article referred incorrectly to the insulation that encases wires in high-capacity cables. The insulation is made from polyethylene, not polypropylene. A film review on Friday about the drama 'Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight' described incorrectly the origins of the character Bobo's family. The origins are unspecified; the family is not described as coming from Australia. An article on Monday about what to watch on television this week described incorrectly the history of the show 'Transplant.' It has been airing on NBC for all seasons; it is not being shown in the United States for the first time.

Street Fighter Movie Finds Its Live-Action Guile Actor
The live-action cast is growing yet again, with a new report suggesting that a WWE superstar has joined the film as Guile. According to a new report from Nexus Point News, WWE superstar Cody Rhodes is currently in talks to play the role of Guile. Guile first appeared in 1991's Street Fighter II, and has since become one of the more iconic characters in the franchise. He's best known for his legendary flat-top hair style, iconic theme song, and his militaristic outfits, as his character is a colonel in the United States Air Force. Should Rhodes get the role, the former Undisputed WWE Champion would be joining another WWE icon in the movie, as Akuma is rumored to be played by none other than Joe Anoa'i, also known as Roman Reigns. The cast of the upcoming Street Fighter movie features a star-studded group, including Andrew Koji as Ryu, Callina Liang as Chun-Li, Noah Centineo as Ken, Jason Momoa as Blanka, Roman Reigns as Akuma, Orville Peck as Vega, Andrew Schulz as Dan Hibiki, and Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson as Balrog. Production on the film is expected to begin in Australia this coming August. Plot details remain under wraps at this time. Legendary Entertainment is co-developing and co-producing the project alongside Capcom. A release date for the Street Fighter movie has not yet been set. (Source: Nexus Point News)
