Producer offers 17-minute preview of film shot in Canada

The producer of a documentary about Marillion has released a 17-minute trailer for the 90-minute work.

Entitled Marillion & Fans: The Movie, it was shot during the band’s weekend convention in Montreal, Canada, in 2011.

It explores what the music means to the fans, how they express their passion to fellow followers, and how the band interact with the extended family of supporters.

The movie has a tentative release date of March 2015. Marillion recently released live DVD A Sunday Night Above The Rain, while guitarist Steve Rothery has just launched his debut solo album, The Ghosts Of Pripyat.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
