Utopia Launches ‘Pavements' On '90s Indie Band As Hybrid Music Doc/Satire Hits The Road
Utopia, which knows its way around a music documentary (Meet Me In The Bathroom, Crestone) opened Alex Ross Perry's at the Film Forum in NYC to $13.2k with sold-out Q&As and plans to roll the Venice-premiering satirical hybrid doc/mockumentary across key markets in May ahead of a national release June 6. It's sitting at 97% on Rotten Tomatoes (31 reviews). Each stop of the road show from LA (sold out preview at Vidiots on the 8th) and Brooklyn next weekend (also holding at the Film Forum) to San Francisco, Nashville, Knoxville, Portland and Chicago — feature sold and selling-out sessions with directors and band members whose film is as much a satire of a music doc as the real thing. Actual archival footage and interviews alternate with a movie-within-a-movie that has actors playing band members (Joe Keery as Stephen Malkmus; Fred Hechinger as Bob Nastanovich; Natt Wolff as Scott Kannenberg) and Jason Schwartzman as Chris Lombardi, founder of the group's label Matador Records. There's a reimagining of an actual theatrical production called Slanted! Enchanted! and a museum memorabilia show.

Utopia's head of marketing and distribution Kyle Greenberg says the Film Forum audience is multigenerational from Gen Z to boomers checking out the film with long lines and strong walk-up traffic. 'As we find on many releases, bands that might be a bit older, because of discoverability these days, there is a chance … for these bigger acts' to find new audiences. The indie film scene is a tough one and the overall marketplace crowded with new studio fare barreling into theaters at its fastest pace in months. Pavements' marketing, Greenberg says, will be 'hyper-localized' to the road show and mostly driven by social with paid picking up as word-of-mouth builds. The film will play a single screen in each market this month, leaning into its arthouse partners and activations around each theater, some of which will play bonus music videos before and after screenings. Others are creating Pavement museums and artifacts, 'having fun with the meta aspects of the film.' Before the real trailer hit (watch it here), Utopia released a fake teaser for the fake movie-within-the-movie.

Oasis reunion movie by Peaky Blinders creator to be filmed during tour
The long-awaited Oasis reunion tour this summer will be captured for posterity in a new movie by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight and directed by Meet Me In The Bathroom filmmakers Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace. The much anticipated reunion shows were announced last year, 15 years after the infamous backstage bust-up between singer Liam Gallagher and his brother Noel which saw the rock band split in 2009. The tour is scheduled to begin on 4 July at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff and will then continue for 39 more dates across the UK and around the world. According to a press release, the film about the tour will be 'created and produced' by Knight, who as well as creating Peaky Blinders is also known for writing David Cronenberg's Eastern Promises, Stephen Frears' Dirty Pretty Things and producing, directing and writing Locke starring Tom Hardy. His recent projects include creating This Town for the BBC, writing the script for the Oscar nominated film Maria starring Angelina Jolie and writing Disney+'s A Thousand Blows starring Stephen Graham. Directors Southern and Lovelace are known for bridging documentary and concert film with Shut Up And Play The Hits, about LCD Soundsystem, and their documentary about the early 2000s New York music scene Meet Me In The Bathroom. Speaking to The Independent in 2023, Southern and Lovelace said they were fascinated by the way the music industry changed during the transition from the 1990s to the 2000s, a similar period of time that spans Oasis' career. 'In 1999, very few people would have had email or a cell phone. By 2003, everyone's got both of those things. The speed of technological change is just exponential from that point,' said Southern. 'You're in this really interesting period where the world just slips from one mode into another.' No release date or official title has yet been set for the Oasis tour film. The shows have already been met with controversy over the price of the tickets. Ticketmaster is currently being investigated over allegations that it deployed the so-called 'dynamic pricing' model when Oasis tickets went on sale last year, with prices doubling from £148 to £355. And last month ticket holders were left concerned the gig may be much shorter than they presumed when purchasing tickets, with Gallagher writing on X/Twitter the show would last '59 minutes 59 secs'.

Steven Knight To Produce Oasis Concert Film
Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight will produce a film following Oasis on their summer reunion tour. Oasis Live '25 will be directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace. The duo previously worked on the LCD Soundsystem concert film Shut Up And Play The Hits and Meet Me In The Bathroom, the documentary on the early 2000s NYC music scene. More from Deadline Steven Knight Teases Potential For Netflix's 'Peaky Blinders' Movie To Have Theatrical Run Steven Knight & Cast Of 'A Thousand Blows' Talk Combining Bare-Knuckle Boxing With Female Gangs In Disney+'s Victorian Drama Series Steven Knight On His Approach To Writing 'Maria', Finding The Human Version Of The Facts & The "Elton John/Bernie Taupin" Relationship He Shares With Pablo Larraín The film will be a Magna Studios production. The company's previous credits include Beastie Boys Story, Gangs Of London, 20000 Days On Earth, and Lewis Capaldi: How I'm Feeling Now. The project will be distributed by Sony Music Vision. Krista Wegener of Sony Music Vision will lead global sales. There had been reports in the UK tabloid papers that Oasis had set plans to document their reunion tour for cinema audiences. The band has not performed together since 2009 when a backstage row between the Gallagher brothers saw songwriter Noel quit the band. They have scheduled 17 gigs next year across the UK and Ireland, beginning in Cardiff in July. Tickets were in such demand that many fans were left disappointed or paying hundreds of dollars more than anticipated, due to 'dynamic pricing' on the sales websites, and a government watchdog is currently investigating the ticket sales process. The BBC later reported that more than 50,000 UK tour tickets sold on secondary platforms will be canceled. The band's promoters, Live Nation and SJM, told BBC File on 4 that all invalidated tickets will be made available again through the official seller, Ticketmaster, at face value.
