No, it’s not the much awaited for ‘Sabatoge: The Movie’ unfortunately, but come next year, Beastie fans will finally have a concert film to obsess over . The best part of the whole thing, aside from the fact that the Beasties put on killer shows, will be the ability to switch between a variety of camera angles and audio tracks on the fly. Reporters are likening this to the features on the Beastie’s kick-ass Criterion DVD, but everyone knows that the technique was actually pioneered by the porn industry.
A new Beastie Boys performance doc, shot by their fans and directed by the band’s Adam Yauch, a.k.a. M.C.A. (using the pseudonym Nathaniel Hornblower), has been nabbed by THINKFilm. The movie, dubbed “Awesome; I Fuckin’ Shot That,” features footage filmed by 50 fans at a Madison Square Garden concert. THINKFilm has acquired all worldwide rights to the movie. They are eyeing a Spring ‘06 release, after what they said will be “significant festival presentations early next year.”
