Tom Petty documentary


A four hour documentary movie called Runnin' Down A Dream: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will be released in October .

The film, by Peter Bogdanovich, features interviews with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, and the circle of musicians, friends, and collaborators who came into the band's orbit over the years.

I looked on imdb.com and the movie is titled slightly different there: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Running Down a Dream (notice the runnin' vs running). But Best Buy's picture of the box clearly shows it written as in the first paragraph above.

There's a lot of stars in the film, apparently taking parts in interviews: Kevin Costner, Brittany Murphy, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr, Stevie Nicks, Roy Orbison, Rick Rubin, Jeff Lynne, and more.

Here's the trailer:


On October 16, a 4-disc box set of the film will be released for sale only at Best Buy, which includes the the 2-DVD, 4 hour Bogdanovich film. It also includes a DVD of the 2006 Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers 30th Anniversary Concert in Gainesville, FL and a soundtrack CD of rarities and previously unreleased tracks from the film.
