best news i've heard in awhile.....
By Gregg Goldstein
NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Sony Pictures Classics will be slam dancing its way into theaters this fall after nabbing rights to the documentary
"American Hardcore," which chronicles the American hardcore punk movement from 1980-86.
Paul Rachman's recent Sundance Film Festival hit features loud performances from dozens of bands, including Black Flag, Bad Brains, Jerry's Kids,
Suicidal Tendencies and Wasted Youth.
Written by Steven Blush and inspired by his book "American Hardcore: A Tribal History," it traces the rise and fall of the musical genre and its
disaffected young followers.
Sony Classics, which did well with such youth-oriented documentaries as 'Dogtown and Z Boys' and 'Riding Giants,' picked up rights for North America,
Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and Germany.
