This has been on the back burner for quite a while now but as we slowly creep towards its September 27th release date, more and more bits of information and marketing has begun to trickle out for the IMAX 3D release of Nimród Antal’s Metallica Through the Never. Last night , the first teaser poster and teaser trailer for the film were released and if you hadn’t read the synopsis it might be very difficult to figure out what’s going on in the trailer.
Basically there is a roadies who was sent out to pick something up for Metallica while they are playing an epic live show. While out and about he gets into an accident where there is a potential riot about to unfold. One man in the crowd set his eyes on the roadie to kill him and so it’s up to the roadie to find a way to make it back to the concert alive with Metallica’s cargo.
I’m personally not a fan on seeing concerts in theaters (I haven’t done that yet), but the thought of having a Metallica concert as a backdrop to a narrative about a young adult fleeing a murderer just seems like the perfect match up. I can’t wait to see what the full trailer has in store for us but in the meantime take a look at the below and, if you like heavy rock, keep this one on your radar for this fall.
Dane DeHaan (The Place Beyond the Pines, Kill Your Darlings, The Amazing Spider-Man 2) portrays Trip, a young roadie sent on an urgent mission during Metallica’s roaring live set in front of a sold-out arena.
As the band performs its most iconic songs for thousands of their fans in a never-before-seen performance created exclusively for the film, Trip is dispatched outside the arena to meet a disabled delivery truck and recover a mysterious item being transported to the show. But the seemingly simple assignment turns into a surreal adventure when his car is hit by an out-of-control driver. Trip, dazed and bruised, climbs out of his van only to find himself pitched in the middle of a tense standoff between angry protesters and charging riot police. In the ensuing mayhem, a vicious masked horseman sets his murderous eye on Trip while delivering indiscriminate deathblows to rioters and cops alike. Fleeing through the desolate, post-apocalyptic urban streetscape, Trip has only his wits to protect him as he attempts to deliver the band’s precious cargo and avoid becoming the horseman’s next victim.
