The filmmakers behind Amy, the Amy Winehouse documentary from earlier this year, are working on an Oasis documentary, as Screen Daily points out (via NME). Amy director Asif Kapadia will be the executive producer and Amy producer James Gay Rees will produce the as-yet-untitled film, with Mat Whitecross directing. According to Screen Daily, they've been given "unprecedented" access to the band's archives.
Film company Independent will officially announce the project during industry event American Film Market, which takes place November 4-11.
Independent's managing director, Andrew Orr, told Screen Daily: "Oasis are without doubt one of the classic British rock bands, selling 70 million albums worldwide and defining the sound of a whole era. At its heart are Liam and Noel Gallagher, two of the finest rock ‘n’ roll stars this country has ever produced. Mat’s sensibility and style are going to provide the perfect complement to this tale of the rise of one of the great rock ’n’ roll bands."
