The documentary film which charts the return of
Manchester music legends Stone Roses will receive its premiere at a secret
location in the city.
The Stone
Roses: Made Of Stone features footage from across the band's career and their
comeback shows in 2012.
The event on 30
May, which will be attended by the band and the filmmaker Shane Meadows, will
be simultaneously broadcast to 100 cinemas across the UK.
The film will
be released nationwide on 5 June.
Details of the
location of the premiere will be announced when tickets for it and the 100
other screenings go on sale on 17 April.
The Stone
Roses, whose 1989 eponymous debut has been widely regarded as one of the best
rock albums ever, returned after a long hiatus for a string of gigs last
summer.
Their shows at
Manchester's Heaton Park in June and July were the first in the UK to feature
the band's original line-up for 22 years.
'Even greater'
Mr Meadows, who
came to prominence with films such as This Is England, Once Upon A Time In The
Midlands and Dead Man's Shoes, said he had "unprecedented access" to
all three Heaton Park shows to make the documentary.
He said making
it allowed him to "be part of something truly remarkable, the double
decade awaited resurrection of my all-time favourite band".
"People
say that you can't recapture your youth, it'll never be the same second time
round, but that's utter rubbish," he said.
"The Roses
were never allowed to reach their peak first time around so as far as I and
millions of fans around the world were concerned, with this comeback the Roses
could be even greater."
He said the
film was not "a history lesson, nor is it a two hour concert film".
"It is a
film about defying the odds, sticking it to the man and telling the cynics to
shut their pie-holes."
