Deadline.com reported last October that METALLICA was planning to self-finance a 3D feature film. The band had hired producer Charlotte Huggins (JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH and JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND) to work on the project, for which a director was being sought.
METALLICA's critically acclaimed 2004 documentary SOME KIND OF MONSTER, directed by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky (BROTHER'S KEEPERS, PARADISE LOST), offered a revealing behind-the-scenes look at METALLICA as they confronted personal demons and their relationships with each other during the making of the band's 2003 album ST. ANGER.
In a 2010 interview with Australia's Herald Sun, METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich stated about SOME KIND OF MONSTER, "Every time I see Noel Gallagher [OASIS], he quotes lines from that movie back to me. That thing has taken on a life of its own. I had to live that shit for three fucking years! The whole thing was a mindfuck. I am aware a lot of other musicians seem to have lived a lot of those moments. They weren't necessarily stupid enough to film them like we were and share them with the rest of the world."
