THE FUTURE IS UNWRITTEN
JOE STRUMMER
A FILM BY JULIEN TEMPLE
OFFICIAL SELECTION SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL
UK & Ireland theatrical release: 18th May 2007
Soundtrack release: 7th May 2007
As the front man of the Clash from 1977 onwards, Joe Strummer changed people’s lives forever. A musical icon and political activist, Strummer was never shy about saying what was on his mind and meaning it. He was a voice of a generation, which still resonates today.
The biopic contains never seen before footage of Joe Strummer including studio sessions, archive and early childhood footage, interviews with Strummer disciples such as Martin Scorsese, Bono, members of Red Hot Chilli Peppers, friends new and old. Also containing candid interview with Mick Jones, Topper Headon and other members of Joe’s musical career.
Drawing on both a shared punk history and the close personal friendship that developed over the last years of Joe’s life, Julien Temple’s film is a celebration of Joe - before, during and after the Clash.
Vertigo Films in association with Film4, Parallel Films and Nitrate Films are delighted to announce the theatrical release of THE FUTURE IS UNWRITTEN:JOE STRUMMER directed by Julien Temple, which recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival across the UK and Ireland on the 18th of May 2007. The soundtrack will be released by SonyBMG on the 7th of May.
The soundtrack is released by Sony BMG on 7th May and includes unreleased Clash material, tracks from Joe’s other projects from The 101ers to The Mescaleros, plus the music that influenced him from reggae, to rock & roll to world music.
