Fleetwood
Mac
will
receive
their
first
authorized
documentary,
with
filmmaker
Frank
Marshall
directing
the
yet-untitled
project
for
Apple,

Deadline
reports.

The
film,
which
does
not
yet
have
a
release
date,
will
include
new
interviews
with
surviving
Fleetwood
Mac
members

Stevie
Nicks,

Lindsey
Buckingham,

Mick
Fleetwood
and

John
McVie,
along
with
new
and
archival
interviews
with

Christine
McVie,
who

died
in
2022.

These
interviews
and
additional,
previously
unseen
footage
will
chronicle
Fleetwood
Mac’s
50-plus-year
career,
which
became
one
of
the
most
successful
and
legendarily
volatile
in
rock
history.
Their
personal
and
professional
lives
were
inextricably
linked,
and blockbuster triumphs
such
as


Fleetwood
Mac
and
the
diamond-selling


Rumours
were
accompanied
by
romantic
turmoil,
substance
abuse
and
all
other
manner
of
dysfunction.

Fleetwood
Mac’s
story
has
already
served
as
inspiration
for
several
works
of
music-related
fiction,
including
Taylor
Jenkins
Reid’s
2019
novel


Daisy
Jones
&
the
Six,
which
was
turned
into
an
Amazon
miniseries
in
2023.
The
official
band
documentary
is
in
capable
hands
with
Marshall,
whose
recent
directorial
credits
include

The
Bee
Gees:
How
Can
You
Mend
a
Broken
Heart
(2020),

Carole
King
&
James
Taylor:
Just
Call
Out
My
Name
(2022),

Jazz
Fest:
A
New
Orleans
Story
(2022)
and

The
Beach
Boys
(2024).

“I
am
fascinated
by
how
this
incredible
story
of
enormous
musical
achievement
came
about,”
Marshall
said
in
a
statement
on
his
latest
endeavor.
“Fleetwood
Mac
somehow
managed
to
merge
their
often
chaotic
and
almost
operatic
personal
lives
into
their
own
tale
in
real
time,
which
then
became
legend.
This
will
be
a
film
about
the
music
and
the
people
who
created
it.”
