Apple Lines Up Official Fleetwood Mac Doc from Frank Marshall

Apple Original Films has been fully authorized to produce a documentary on Grammy Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Fleetwood Mac, directed by Frank Marshall (The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, The Beach Boys).

Through never-before-seen footage, exclusive new interviews and archival interviews, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks will reflect on their 50-plus-year history, from their record-breaking recordings and tours to their trials and tribulations to today.

Marshall is producing through The Kennedy/Marshall Company, along with White Horse Pictures’ Nicholas Ferrall (The Beatles: Eight Days A Week; Stax: Soulsville, U.S.A.) and Jeanne Elfant Festa (The Apollo, Lucy and Desi) and Kennedy/Marshall’s Aly Parker (The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, The Space Race). White Horse’s Cassidy Hartmann is executive producing with Kennedy/Marshall’s Tony Rosenthal. Diamond Doc’s Mark Monroe serves as writer and executive producer.

“I am fascinated by how this incredible story of enormous musical achievement came about,” Marshall said. “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.”

“We are thrilled to continue our creative partnership with Frank and the talented team at Kennedy/Marshall,” commented Ferrall. “Fleetwood Mac are a musical phenomenon, their alchemy almost beyond comprehension. White Horse is grateful and humbled by the extraordinary opportunity to produce a documentary that dives deep into both the talents of each band member individually and the magic that is Fleetwood Mac as a whole. And to do this with the support and reach of Apple is quite wonderful.”
