Great interview with Cameron Crowe that gives you more of sense of what the film will entail... Beware of minor spoilers as the interviewer as already seen the film it seems.

At one point he says ...
It really was close to 3,000 hours of footage, including the live stuff, that we went through. It was fun. It took three years to get through. We had a great team of editors. It was our labor of love, our hobby and our quest. There was so much, and so much that hadn’t been seen.

Promising. A labor of love sounds like a film about the band I really want to see.

Sorry if already posted.

Enjoy!

    I hadn't seen this. It's really informative!! I initially though it was that hitfix live blog that was posted earlier but this has a lot more information

    This is interesting:

    Spoiler!!


    Why did you choose to include the performance of “Crown of Thorns” from Pearl Jam’s 10th anniversary concert and inter-cut it with Andrew Wood singing it with Mother Love Bone?

    CROWE: I’m a big Andrew Wood fan. I thought Andrew Wood was one the of amazing pieces of this story, and I felt his voice so strongly, making the film. That’s why the film begins with Andrew Wood, and Eddie Vedder doesn’t make an appearance in the movie until 10 minutes in. That’s how it felt, at the time. It was Andrew Wood’s town, and he died, and that affected everybody. The guy was such a true soul. To see the sands of time cover that memory up was wrong to me, so that’s where we began, in telling the story. On their 10th anniversary, when Pearl Jam played one of Andy Wood’s greatest songs, and Eddie decides that he wants to sing the music of this guy he replaced, who changed all their lives, it’s such an emotional moment that I thought, “Let’s be true to that emotion and just let it rip in the movie. Let’s pay tribute to Andy.” It’s probably what I’m proudest of – that people could see this movie and walk away and say, “Wow, there was a guy before Eddie Vedder, that created all of it. I want to listen more to his stuff.” I hope that happens.
