New trailer for upcoming 'Becoming Led Zeppelin' documentary

Led Zeppelin is coming back to the big screen, and with the release only a month away, a new trailer has been released.

The highly anticipated documentary, Becoming Led Zeppelin, is set to finally be released in IMAX theatres from February 7th this year.

Becoming Led Zeppelin tells the story of Led Zeppelin's early days in a more official way than has been done before. There are many Led Zeppelin documentaries out there, but none have been made by the band itself.

The film is a deep dive into the story of Led Zeppelin, told through the voices of the band members themselves, and features previously unheard interviews with the late John Bonham.

The documentary's release comes nearly four and a half decades after Led Zeppelin's breakup on December 4, 1980, following Bonham's untimely death. 

Among other conversations about the origins of the group included in the preview is this gem from John Paul Jones: “I thought ‘this is a terrible name’. But I couldn’t come up with a better one, so Led Zeppelin we were”. 

The last time the band was on the big screen was back in the 70s for the release of their iconic concert film The Song Remains The Same, which is considered one of the greatest concert films of all time.

"I had a mind-blowing experience seeing Led Zeppelin for the first time in August 1969 at the Texas International Pop Festival in Grapevine, Texas, and it has stayed with me ever since," says Sony Pictures co-president and co-founder Tom Bernard. 

"I cannot think of a single movie that more brilliantly draws you into an artist’s story, shows you how their music was made, and makes you experience it as if it were brand new. I know it will be inspirational to young people and legacy-defining for generations to come.”
