The concert film has been back on the rise in a big way lately, with
full-scale concert features chronicling such young-skewing talents as
Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, the cast of "Glee," and Katy Perry taking
over movie theaters everywhere (and guaranteeing that audiences don't
need to set foot into an arena to hear the ear-splitting screams of
adolescent fans). But what about music fans who aren't into the dulcet tones of the pre-pubescent?
Bing: More on Metallica
Not to worry, as Metallica has something completely different planned
for their fans with their new concert film, "Metallica Through the
Never." Not just a 3D IMAX concert film, not just a look inside
Metallica's most ambitious tour yet, not just an ear-blasting and
eyeball-bursting musical outing, "Metallica Through the Never" also
blends a narrative section into its groundbreaking take on the "concert
film."
Even better? The narrative portion of the film
also stars one of Hollywood's genuine rising stars, Dane DeHaan
("Chronicle," "The Place Beyond the Pines," the upcoming "The Amazing
Spider-Man 2"). DeHaan stars as Trip, a roadie for the band who is
dispatched on an "urgent mission" to pick up a mysterious package in the
middle of the band's show. Trip's night takes a turn when he's hit by
an out of control driver, but things only get much worse (and much more
weird) when he emerges from his totaled van to find himself in the
middle of a full-on riot. Oh, and there's also a masked guy on horseback
who seems to have it in for the police, the rioters, and Trip.
