A new Velvet Underground documentary from director Todd Haynes is currently in the works. The as-yet-untitled documentary will “rely certainly on Warhol films but also a rich culture of experimental film,” Haynes said. “They’re the most influential of bands – as Brian Eno said, everybody who bought [Velvet Underground & Nico] started a band,” Haynes said while announcing the project. “Their influence has nothing to do with sales or visibility or the ways we portion ideas of success.” Haynes says that he hopes to interview the band’s surviving members (singer Lou Reed died in 2013 and guitarist Sterling Morrison died in 1995) for the documentary as he makes the upcoming doc alongside producer Christine Vachone and Universal Music Group. No official title or release date have been revealed. Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
