Duff McKagan Film Trailer Released
Former GNR man releases new promo for film about his current side project
Duff McKagan has released a new trailer for a forthcoming film / documentary about him and his band Loaded.
The movie is based on the band's upcoming album, "The Soundtrack", which is tentatively due on March 22 via Eagle Rock Entertainment, and is being helmed by Seattle filmmaker and documentarian Jamie Burton Chamberlin
Chamberlin recently told the West Seattle Herald that the upcoming film "will be a contemporary version of, say, 'Hard Day's Night' meets 'The Song Remains the Same', with aspects of documentary, music video, and live performance, all interconnected by an underlying motivation. The album will serve as the soundtrack." He added, "Everything will be shot in Seattle and the Northwest. We hope to use locations in West Seattle and other familiar settings to create these vignettes that develop organically within them."
Chamberlin told the West Seattle Herald that Billy Gibbons may swing by West Seattle again to appear in the film. Other big name musicians may also make cameos.
According to Chamberlin, McKagan may push to have the piece released in the film festival circuit to offer exposure to a wider audience beyond his music fans.
"Not a lot of artists out there are interested in going to this extreme of having their music interpreted in film," said Chamberlin. "This project wouldn't be happening without Duff's vision, and the support of people like Rick Canny at Sanctuary management, LOADED's manager.
"Duff is a super guy, one of the nicest guys you could meet. He has shown a strong commitment to getting this project off the ground. He's got a great business sensibility and is totally creative, qualities that draw me to him as an artist. He's just a classy cat."
