TFIU - North American DVD Release July 8

[threecoffins]

Found this. Looks the same as the Euro release, but good to see it finally comin out.

Julien Temple's documentary about Clash front man Joe Strummer is ready for a DVD release.

The Future is Unwritten arrives on DVD July 8 from Legacy Recordings. For the DVD release, the film is expanded with about 100 minutes of extra interview footage that didn't make the final cut, touching on the same cast of contemporaries and his influences as the theatrical release: Mick Jones, Bono, Anthony Keidis and Johnny Depp all weigh in on Strummer's legacy.

I can't wait till the Deluxe Blu-ray release which has all 349 hours of Bono's bloviating.



I love that film...but why do smart directors keep giving shameless attention whores a prime forum when it's so dead obvious they'll say anything about anyone for an opportunity to mug for the cameras.

That's my problem with the film as well. It didn't really offer much to the hardcore fan. I think there could have been less adulation and more exploration of the drama and the frustration of his life. I think it was somewhat of an opportunity missed, but a good primer for people who don't know about the man.

Sweet!

At last I'll be able to see it.

I think Bono absolutely should have been in the film. The Clash were his first concert.

Johnny Depp on the other hand...

Johnny Depp on the other hand...

I would have been ok with Depp, had he not seemed so preoccupied with not really being there.

He also could have taken off the fucking pirate costume for 5 minutes.

Every time I watched TFIU at a theater, people predictably laughed when they saw JD.

JD has said throughout his career "I'm not funny". He must have underestimated himself.

Disappointed that there's no cool extras... ie music or Clash/joe clips.. but cool.

I enjoyed the movie a lot, didn't think it was great. I might have had too high hopes for it. I kind of disagree that it wasn't good for the hardcore fan though, there were so many great looking clips I had never seen. But none of them were shown long enough. Maybe it was a great tease for the hardcore fan.

Like his music or not, Bono is a musician who was hugely influenced by The Clash and deserves to be included just as much if not more than any of the actors in it. That being said, I do like all the actors so I didn't mind any of them except Johnny Depp. He's a douche. No one took his part seriously. There's a Hunter S. Thompson documentary out there where Depp is interviewed, also dressed like a fucking pirate. He's a great actor (though he hasn't made a movie I was too interested in for about ten years) but he's still a landlubbin' douche.

Depp was buddies with Thompson for a good while, tho.

Oh I know, he deserved to be in the Thompson documentary - and truth be told I don't really care about the 'celebrities' being in TFIU. It just pissed me off that he was dressed as a pirate in both.
