Jan. 9, 2013 In August of 2012 Metallica recorded the footage for their upcome 3D movie in Vancover. It turns out though it's not just a concert. Lar's told Classic Rock Magazine that they were heavily influenced by the Led Zepplin movie "The Song Remains the Same."
“There are four members in Led Zeppelin, four members in Metallica, it’s a full-length movie, and there’s a lot in this film that does not take place onstage. The major difference is that the stuff that takes place offstage in the Metallica movie does not feature any members of Metallica. It’s two separate worlds – a Metallica show and a story that unfolds in a parallel universe – and at some point they intertwine.”
The film is expected to be in theaters this summer.
Lar's also went on to talk briefly about the now in process band's 9th studio album, and the posibiltie of working once again with legendary producer Rick Rubin.
“I love Rick. We all love Rick. We’re in touch with Rick constantly. We’ll see where it goes. It would stun me if the record came out in 2013. We’ve got to finish this 3D movie, which is what we’re doing right now."
The songs are said to pick up where 2008′s Death Magnetic album left off.
