Filming Those About To Rock With AC/DC

October 27, 2008

Producer/director Saul Levitz recently spoke to TimesLeader.com about his upcoming documentary about AC/DC and their fans, which was filmed from October 24 to October 26 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania — the site of the band's first show in eight years.

According to Levitz, said the fan documentary will likely fall between "Heavy Metal Parking Lot" and "Detroit Rock City", films that examine what it means to some to be a fan. Members of the caravan were asked to document their love of AC/DC by showing off their memorabilia, taking footage from the road and documenting the purchase of the band's latest album, "Black Ice".

"It's part self-documentary, part interview and part madness on Sunday. We'll take these ingredients and play with them," Levitz said.

He continued, "[The film is] about the fans and AC/DC's impression on them. Men, women, old, young — all kinds of people rally around the band. After the concert, I want to be out in the parking lot, not backstage."

The yet-untitled documentary is scheduled to be on the band's next live DVD, according to Levitz.
