“The Wall” stage adaptation details

Posted October 2, 2015 by Floydian Slip

Roger Waters has talked about creating a musical theater adaptation of “The Wall” for more than a decade. This week he revealed some of the key team members working on the project.

Water told the Standard he will co-produce “The Wall” with Eric Fellner of Working Title productions, which staged “Billy Elliot The Musical”; he’ll write the adaptation with Lee Hall, who wrote the “Billy Elliot” book and lyrics, as well as the film’s screenplay. The show will be directed by Simon McBurney.

“Billy Elliot” premiered in London’s West End in 2005 and was nominated for nine Laurence Olivier Awards, winning four. Elton John wrote the show’s music.

“The plan is to stage it in London first,” Waters says. “I’ve set up a production company with Eric Fellner but there’s no time-frame yet.”

Waters has said in the past he plans to inject some humor into the production.

“The Wall” was made into a film in 1982, directed by Alan Parker.

Roger Waters The Wall coming to disc

Posted September 30, 2015 by Floydian Slip

“Roger Waters The Wall” is set for release on DVD, Blu-ray, digital download and 2-disc Blu-ray special edition Nov. 16. A soundtrack CD is coming this autumn as well.

The film, which screened in theaters last night, was shot during Waters’ 2010-13 world tour. Seen by more than 4 million fans at 219 shows, the tour was the highest grossing tour by any solo artist in history.

Beyond the concert, the film incorporates behind-the-scenes footage and additional scenes of Waters trekking to the site in France where his grandfather is buried and Italy to a memorial for his father — both lost to war — in a style that straddles narrative and documentary styles.

The DVD, Blu-ray and digital download releases from UPHE Content Group will feature bonus footage of Waters visiting the grave of poet and soldier Frank Thompson, who lost his life during World War II.

The 2-disc Blu-ray special edition features more than 95 minutes of bonus footage from when Waters was joined on stage by David Gilmour and Nick Mason at London’s O2 Arena in a performance of “Comfortably Numb” during “The Wall Live” tour, as well as driving outtakes from the road movie, art cards, a poster and booklet.

The film’s soundtrack will be released this fall by Sony Music.

Posted September 30, 2015 by Floydian Slip

David Gilmour‘s new album, “Rattle That Lock,” debuted at the top of the U.K.’s Official Album Chart this week.

It’s the second time the Pink Floyd guitarist and vocalist has reached number one with a solo album. The last time was 2006 with “On an Island.”

“Rattle That Lock” beat out the second-highest charting record, Lana Del Rey‘s “Honeymoon,” by 20,000 copies.

In the United States, “Rattle That Lock” debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Rock Albums chart. Nine of the top 10 albums there are debuts.

Gilmour also enjoyed a #1 debut last November with Pink Floyd’s “The Endless River.”
