From the Academy Award® winning producers of AMY and SENNA, OASIS: SUPERSONIC tells the incredible true story of the meteoric rise, chaotic reign, and epic explosion of the legendary rock band Oasis. In Theaters October 26.
The meteoric rise and eventual collapse of Oasis is the type of story that’s ripe for a documentary. So it’s a wonder we’ve had to wait for one on the scale of Supersonic for so long. The story of the Gallagher brothers going from council estates to playing in front of hundreds of thousands of people is making its way to the big screen on October 2nd, and today we received our first look via its full-length trailer.
When watching the first cut of the documentary Liam Gallagher called the film “Biblical”
The film was executive-produced by Amy director, Asif Kapadia and seems to be similarly heavy on archival footage (with fresh voiceovers recorded by the ever-quotable Gallagher brothers). The doc was directed by Mat Whitecross.
After winning multiple BRIT awards in 1996, Noel Gallagher said,
“We were the biggest band in the country but we didn’t give a fuck.”
Mat Whitecross has made a film that perfectly captures that mentality (consequenceofsound.net)
