Steven Knight commented: “I genuinely cannot wait for the world to see this film. I believe it captures the spirit and emotion of a global cultural moment and does justice to the wit and genius of two exceptional people. I wanted to tell the story of the brothers and the band, but just as important, the story of the fans whose lives the music has touched and sometimes changed forever. It is also the story of how music and songwriting can unite generations, cultures, countries and in a time of spite and division, give us all some reason to hope.”
“Opportunities like this are incredibly rare,” said Eric Schrier, President of Direct-to-Consumer International Originals, Strategic Programming, and Emerging Media. “The film is an intimate story of reconciliation, the power of music, and Oasis, one of the most successful and influential acts of all time. It’s a privilege to bring this extraordinary film to the big screen and to Disney+ subscribers around the world.”
Featuring unprecedented access and never-before-seen footage, the film is a magna studios production, presented by Sony Music Vision in association with Sony Music Entertainment UK. Producers are Sam Bridger (“Lewis Capaldi: How I’m Feeling Now”, “Meet Me in the Bathroom”) and Guy Heeley (“Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man”). Executive producers include Kate Shepherd, Marisa Clifford, Tom Mackay, Krista Wegener, Isabel Davis and Tim O’Shea, with Oscar winning sound mixers James Mather (“Top Gun: Maverick”, “Belfast”) and Tarn Willers (“The Zone of Interest”) along with cinematographer Haris Zambarloukos (“Belfast”, “Beetle Juice Beetle Juice”) leading the creative technical team.
Further details, including cinema listings, will be announced soon. The film opens at select IMAX® and theatres worldwide for an exclusive theatrical engagement presented by Disney+ on September 11 and will stream exclusively on Disney+ internationally and on Hulu in the U.S. later this year.
