Rush News The special Rush issue of Prog includes an update on the forthcoming Rush documentary."'We've been lucky, not only have we had access to [Rush management] SRO's archives but also Geddy, Alex and Neil's own personal archives,' enthuses director Dunn. 'I was just at Geddy's house this week. Going through his personal collection of memorabilia. I dug up some gems I don't think Rush fans have ever seen so we're hoping to offer something new.'...The as-yet untitled film will also feature contributions from a host of musicians who have toured with or been inspired by Rush, including Billy Corgan, Trent Reznor, Tool, Foo Fighters, Kiss, Uriah Heep and Primus. Dunn and McMadyen look to complete filming at the end of this year, so a theatrical release is slated for early next summer. Watch out for exclusive footage of the three members interacting with each other in the band's unique way. 'We got some rare backstage footage in Europe,' Says Dunn. 'And the camaraderie between the three really comes across. They're almost telepathic and I think that's what's been behind their great success. They have such a deep understanding of each other's personalities and of each other's strengths. That's something that's pretty amazing to see and what we want to convey in the film.'" - Prog, Issue #3- Thanks to Rushisaband for the headsup!

I think a movie should be made about them also. A movie that is very biographical and follows a timeline, kind of like The Doors movie. Starting in 1968 when Alex put the band together all the way to Snakes & Arrows tour. They have an awesome story of struggle, triumph and tradgedy and tirumph once again.
Should be good! It's funny: when I started listening to the band in 8th grade (1980) it seemed they had made such a legacy already and they became the springboard for so many things in my life like playing guitar. I have truly enjoyed the tours & albums of the last few years...."Marathon" indeed.
I've followed them since 1975 when I saw my first concert. I've missed only two tours during their run so I did literally grow up with these guys. A documentary would be a real bonus for all of us Rush fans and one I am anxious to see.
