REPRISE RECORDS WILL RELEASE BLU-RAY & DVD OF NEIL YOUNG TRUNK SHOW — A CONCERT FILM STARRING NEIL YOUNG AND DIRECTED BY JONATHAN DEMME LATER THIS YEAR

FILM WILL OPEN IN THEATERS NATIONWIDE BEGINNING MARCH 19TH,

FOR ONE WEEK ONLY

Burbank, CA – Neil Young Trunk Show — a concert film starring Neil Young — will be released on Blu-Ray and DVD by Reprise Records later this year. The film is the second in director Jonathan Demme’s planned trilogy about the legendary rocker. Demme also directed the 2006 Young documentary Heart of Gold. Following that film’s premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, Rolling Stone called it “an unconscious, raw, in-the-moment concert movie that respects the immediacy of creativity and the creator.”

Shot on hand-held HDCam, HDV, and Super-8mm cameras, Neil Young Trunk Show features scenes from two shows that Young performed at the historic Tower Theater in Upper Darby, PA, on his 2007 Chrome Dreams II theater tour. Fans are treated to acoustic and electric tracks that span his entire songbook, including rarely performed songs like “Mexico,” “Kansas,” and “The Sultan,” the classics “Cinnamon Girl,” “Cowgirl in the Sand,” and “After the Gold Rush,” and more recent work including “The Believer,” and an astonishing 20 minute version of “No Hidden Path.” The film also features some offstage and behind-the-scenes footage. Demme’s film credits include the Oscar-winning dramas Philadelphia and Silence of the Lambs, and the more recent Rachel Getting Married.

Theatrical screenings of Neil Young Trunk Show will be held across the country for one week beginning on March 19^th. A list of cities and theaters is below. Watch the trailer here:

Como puedes leer, Trunk Show es el segundo documental/película de la trilogía que tiene pensado hacer el genial Jonathan Demme. El primero fue Heart Of Gold, y el tercero aun está por decidir.

Para rodar Trunk Show, Demme ha grabado a Neil Young en su concierto del Tower Theatre de Upper Darby (Pennsylvania), en lo que fue su Chrome Dreams II Tour de 2007. Y ya sabes que Demme tiene su particular visión de Young. Según parece lo ha rodado desde todos los ángulos posibles y de cerca, aunque también ha buscando la visión del último rincón de la sala e incluso del vecino de enfrente.

Según parece, por lo que cuentan en la Reprise, el show aparecerá a finales de año, tanto en DVD como en Bluray.
