Roger Waters The Wall coming to cinemas
“Roger Waters The Wall”, a documentary shot during the former Pink Floyd member’s three-year solo tour, will be screened in US theaters and cinemas worldwide on September 29 via Fathom Events.
The Wall Live tour brought the famed 1979 Pink Floyd album to arenas and stadiums around the world between 2010 and 2013. Waters played 219 dates that brought in a total of approximately $458 million dollars in box office revenue.
“We were a big family on the road, 189 of us, give or take the odd Snoozy Walrus,” says Waters. “We were happy, by and large, and I am really happy to welcome everyone at Fathom and Picturehouse aboard. I know, I know — mixing metaphors. Where was I? Oh yeah, with your help, this coming 29th September will be the perfect way to remember not just our loved ones but the other guys loved ones — fallen, living, and as yet unborn.”
“Roger Waters The Wall” was shot in three cities across two continents by co-directors Waters and Sean Evans.
Waters was on hand to premiere the feature at the Toronto International Film Festival last September, where he introduced the film and participated in a Q&A session after the screening.
Tickets for the September 29 cinema event will go on sale June 19 at fathomevents.com
On July 24, Waters will reissue his 1991 album, “Amused To Death.”
The updated version of Waters’ third solo record will include a new 5.1 surround remix of the album on high-definition Blu-ray audio and a new remastered stereo mix completed by longtime Waters / Pink Floyd collaborator and co-producer James Guthrie.
