Filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky have been shooting a Metallica documentary since last April and have revealed that the footage deals “with some really difficult subject matter,” according to a post on Metallica’s West Memphis Three teenagers, who were convicted of a murder they insist they didn’t commit.
The filmmakers say they have gained “unprecedented access to [band members’] private worlds,” and “nothing has been off-limits.” Sinofsky estimates that only 30-40% of the film has been shot so far, and that he is “hard-pressed to define the project because it’s constantly changing.”
No release date for the film, or for Metallica’s next Elektra studio album, has yet been announced. Newsted’s new band, EchoBrain, released its self-titled Chophouse/Surfdog debut today (March 5) in North America.
