More news from Variety Magazine about Tim Pope’s big project with The Cure and Robert Smith:
“This year, Pope is also working on a feature documentary about The Cure’s 40 years in the music business, which will include archive footage supplied by the band’s front-man, Robert Smith.
“Robert Smith is giving me access to 50 boxes of film, which have never been seen before, of the early Cure days,” Pope said. “I want to make a film like ‘Goodfellas’ where Robert is narrating the film in a first-person way, and it is like crazy and we are on this journey.” He added, “Robert’s songs always deal with being the outsider.””
Don’t expect it to be completed this year. Just please don’t turn it into a 10 year project, Mr. Pope.
maybe not "Tim Pope related", but it would be more than great a BBC sessions boxset (like The Banshees one). And it's really necessary the old films (Staring, Orange, Show...) on bluray. The Rolling Stones are on this way: old concerts putting on Bluray, with really great image and sound.
YES YES YES!!! BBC Sessions, please!!!! The Banshees one was ace
