Apple TV+ is adding an ace to its deck of music docs: the first fully authorized biography of
Fleetwood Mac.
The
Apple Original film will be directed by five-time
Oscar nominee
Frank Marshall, who has overseen such acclaimed works as
The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart,
Jazz Fest: A New Orleans Story and
The Beach Boys.
All surviving band members sat for interviews with Marshall, who’s also folding in archival conversations with the late
Christine McVie.
Marshall said, “I'm fascinated by how this incredible story of enormous musical achievement came about. 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.”
There’s no release date yet for the still-untitled doc, which will be produced by the
Kennedy/
Marshall Company and
White Horse Pictures.
