Coming to the big screen near you soon: Coldplay, the movie made of dreams

-

Fans of rockers band Coldplay will be delighted that the band have announced a new film, A Head Full Of Dreams, which throws the doors wide open on their colourful 20-year history.

The film will be available to stream exclusivel­y on Amazon Prime Video following the theatrical release.

The documentar­y release will be preceded by a special one-night showing of the film in collaborat­ion with Trafalgar Releasing in more than 2 000 cinemas worldwide on November 14.

A Head Full Of Dreams offers an in-depth and intimate portrait of the band’s spectacula­r rise from the backrooms of Camden pubs to selling out stadiums across the planet.

At the heart of the story is the band’s unshakeabl­e brotherhoo­d which has endured through many highs and lows.

The film is helmed by Mat Whitecross – director of Supersonic, the acclaimed 2016 Oasis documentar­y – who met the four friends at college in London, before they’d even formed the band. From the very first rehearsal in a cramped student bedroom, Whitecross has been there to capture the music and the relationsh­ips on tape .

Whitecross has directed many of the band’s most iconic videos. –
