The group Oasis announced Thursday that a film will be produced as the band goes out on a reunion tour this year, created and produced by Steven Knight (“Peaky Blinders,” “Locke”) and directed by Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace (“Meet Me in the Bathroom”).
No information about the nature of the film was forthcoming, but the fact that Southern and Lovelace directed a documentary/concert film for LCD Soundsystem, “Shut Up and Play the Hits,” could point toward a similar hybrid format for the Oasis movie.
The Oasis project will be produced by Magna Studios, with Sam Bridger and Guy Heeley serving as producers and Marisa Clifford and Kate Shepherd as executive producers. It will be distributed by Sony Music Vision, with Krista Wegener of Sony Music Vision leading global sales.
The announcement said that no release date has been set for the film and there would be no further information about it released for the immediate future.
Besides producing and creating “Peaky Blinders,” Knight also wrote the recent Maria Callas biopic “Maria” starring Angelina Jolie, David Cronenberg’s “Eastern Promises” and Stephen Frears’ “Dirty Pretty Things” and produced, directed and wrote “Locke,” starring Tom Hardy.
The Oasis tour will begin July 4 in Cardiff and is scheduled to run through November.
