Stone Roses film nearly finished

Shane Meadows on stage filming the Stone Roses

The Shane Meadows directed Stone Roses film that he was filming across Europe and Japan this year is nearly finished.

The film looks like it will be a classic.

We saw Shane- who is the UK’s best film maker- filming at many of the shows from the first one in Warrington and then out in Europe and, of course, Heaton Park. Meadows has posted an update on the eagerly anticipated documentary on his own message board revealing that the film should be finished early next year, and that he’s “very happy with how things are going.”

“It’s in really good shape now. Maybe three-four weeks from locking the edit. Might even get to do some Xmas shopping this year.”

As for a release, Meadows explained: “I think the aim will be to launch at a big festival April/May next year, have a mahoosive (sic) UK premiere, then get it into cinemas soon after.”
