Film-maker Thom Zimny is set to direct an as yet untitled documentary on “The Man In Black,” Johnny Cash. News of the upcoming documentary on the country legend comes a day ahead of the 50th anniversary of his famous concert at Folsom Prison, which was the basis for his record shattering concert album, Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison. Imperative Entertainment’s Jeff Pollack, Ryan Suffern and Jillian Apfelbaum are teaming up with Jurassic World executive producer Frank Marshall on the film, which will explore the country singer’s music and biography through the iconic Folsom Prison concert. “While the linear narrative of the Folsom Prison performances will anchor our film, each song in the set list will open a door into a nonlinear presentation of Cash’s emotional, musical and personal development,” said Zimny, who was behind numerous Bruce Springsteen documentaries and HBO Films’ Elvis Presley: The Searcher documentary. A biopic on Cash, directed by James Mangold in 2005, won an Oscar nomination for Joaquin Phoenix, who portrayed the singer. Copyright(c) 2018 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
