Dio full length documentary Update

[Charger]

Agreed.

Can't wait to see it!

[Jack the Stripper]

I’m off to see “Dreamers Never Die” today at the cinema in Crown Casino.

Looking forward to it.

I was hoping it might have got a release here, but no sign of it yet.

How was the show Jack?

[Jack the Stripper]

^^It’s screening in over 500 cinemas worldwide so there will definitely be screenings in the UK Kilo.

Just on the doco. I thought it was extremely well done and a great watch. There are some things that get glossed over and some timeline jumps but given its running length I can understand how they chose to concentrate more on his early beginnings and the major parts of his music career.

Runs about 135 min but 20 minutes of that were outtakes after the credits rolled which were also very cool.

Glad I saw it on the big screen with other fans. The ending was very emotional.

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Glad to hear it's worth a watch.

Just checked and it has a pretty limited release in the UK. The only place remotely near me is a nightmare to get to if you don't drive. It seems to be a "1-day only" thing as well. I'm sure it will get a streaming/DVD release before too long.

[Vyn]

Yeah, good to know it's worthwhile. He deserves a solid "bio". The average person does't really know much about him at all, and even among those who are familiar with his work don't know much about his early career/life. So that's really cool that they focus on that aspect.

Definitely will be watching this when I get the chance.

Heard nothing but great things about it! Glad you enjoyed it too Jack!

This is most certainly a must see...wish I could do so in theaters...but that's not an option.

[Zzzptm]

I'll likely have to await the streaming release, as well, but very much looking forward to it.

[Jack the Stripper]

I would recommend getting along to a cinema to watch it. Not so much because it has to be seen on a big screen or anything, a lot of the archival footage is quite grainy as it’s not in HD obviously, but I think it’s more impactful in a theatre watching it with other people. There are some lol moments which wouldn’t be as funny watching it at home on your own.

I think the overriding thing that really comes across in the movie though, is Ronnie’s passion for the music rather than any scandalous type behaviour you see in other music docos.

Also, Mick Wall is fantastic in it. I love one of his quotes. “Like Muhammad Ali,  Ronnie became heavyweight champion 3 times”

So for those that live in the US the doco will be screening on Showtime on Dec 1 and will also available to stream via the Showtime app.

Nothing for those that live outside the US as yet. Although given Showtime is only available in the US and is owned by Paramount, maybe it will stream on Paramount+ at some point?

Showtime just started it's streaming service here so I'm hoping it will end up there soon.

Eventually. But Showtime is their bid to get people to pay a wee bit more for the streaming service.

Thank me later 

[Jack the Stripper]

So I’m still the only one on here that’s watched the Dio doco? I’ve actually seen it twice now. I’ve even posted a free link to watch it
