“Cinema Strangiato: An Annual Exercise In Fan Indulgence” will take viewer’s behind the scenes of Rush’s 40th Anniversary Tour in 2015 “R40.” The film will include concert footage along with an unreleased soundcheck, backstage footage and interviews with Tom Morello (RATM/ Audioslave/ POR), Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters) and more. The film’s trailer synopsis reads:
The Holy Trinity of Rock returns to the big screen on Wednesday, August 21, when the first “Annual Exercise in Fan Indulgence” Cinema Strangiato brings Rush fans together in movie theatres worldwide. Featuring R40+, this global fan event will give audiences a special look into some of the best performances from R40 LIVE, including songs such as “Closer to the Heart”, “Subdivisions”, “Tom Sawyer” and more, as well as unreleased backstage moments and candid footage left on the cutting room floor. R40+ also includes unseen soundcheck performances of the fan-favorite “Jacob’s Ladder”, exclusive new interviews with Tom Morello, Billy Corgan, Taylor Hawkins, producer Nick Raskulinecz, violinist Jonathan Dinklage and more. As a special bonus, fans will get a glimpse into the madness and passion that went in to the making of Geddy Lee’s new book, Geddy Lee’s Big Beautiful Book of Bass – featuring a brand-new interview from the man himself.
Rush have been completely inactive since the end of this tour. Drummer Neil Peart battled serious pain, including a foot infection during much of this tour. Both Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson have said that they will not perform as Rush without Peart.
“Cinema Strangiato: An Annual Exercise In Fan Indulgence” will be shown in Appleton’s Marcus Theaters on August 21st. CLICK HERE for tickets.
