Exclusive: Magnolia Pictures has acquired North American rights to The Stones and Brian Jones, a documentary about the “lost creative genius” who launched – and named – The Rolling Stones.
Acclaimed filmmaker Nick Broomfield directed the documentary, which Magnolia plans to release in theaters later this year.
“Featuring revealing interviews with all the main players and unseen archive released for the first time, The Stones and Brian Jones explores the creative musical genius of Jones, the key to the success of the band,” a release about the film notes, “and uncovers how the founder of what became the greatest rock’n’roll band in the world was left behind in the shadows of history.”
The Rolling Stones in London, May 4, 1963. L-r: Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts.
Jones assembled the Stones in 1962 as a blues-infused unit, playing rhythm and lead guitar alongside Keith Richards,...

Gravitas Ventures has secured the U.S. rights to Nick Broomfield’s documentary “Last Man Standing: Suge Knight and the Murders of Biggie & Tupac.”
The distributor will release the film, which is a sequel of sorts to the British filmmaker’s notorious 2002 docu “Biggie & Tupac,” in U.S. theaters this fall before seeking a home on a major streaming platform. The doc is currently slated to hit cinemas on Aug. 20.
“Last Man Standing” presents a comprehensive history of the tragic rap feud some 25 years on, while also examining more recent allegations made by former LAPD detective Russel Poole that the murder of 24-year-old Christopher Wallace — who is better known as Biggie Smalls or The Notorious B.I.G. — was commissioned by Knight, with the help of corrupt LAPD officers.
Wallace died in March 1997 after being shot four times in a Los Angeles drive-by shooting, six months after the...

Roadside Attractions has acquired North American rights to Nick Broomfield’s documentary “Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love,” which premiered last month at the Sundance Film Festival.
Broomfield’s film focuses on the love story between the late Canadian folk singer Leonard Cohen and his Norwegian muse, Marianne Ihlen. The announcement was made Thursday by Roadside co-founders Howard Cohen and Eric d’Arbeloff with a planned release date later this year. The deal was brokered by Kew Media Distribution.
“Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love” starts on the Greek island of Hydra in 1960, where Cohen and Ihlen became part of a community of expat artists, writers, and musicians, captured in never-before-seen footage shot by Broomfield and documentarian D.A. Pennebaker. Cohen and Ihlen died in 2016.
“Any Leonard Cohen fan can tell you that there’s something profoundly romantic about his music,” said Cohen and d’Arbeloff. “While it’s hard to know what inspires great art,...

Roadside Attractions has acquired domestic rights to Nick Broomfield’s Sundance Film Festival documentary Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love, which follows the enduring love story between legendary Canadian folk singer Leonard Cohen and his Norwegian muse, Marianne Ihlen. A release is planned for later this year. The documentary starts on the Greek island of Hydra in 1960, where Cohen, then a struggling and unknown fiction writer, and Marianne, a single mother with a young son, became part of community of expat artists, writers and musicians. Never-before-seen footage shot by Broomfield and legendary documentarian D.A. Pennebaker make for a unique portrait of an idyllic 1960’s bohemia. It was on Hydra in 1968 that Broomfield, then aged 20, first himself met Marianne. She introduced him to Cohen’s music and encouraged Broomfield to make his first film. His career would spawn many iconic music legend docs about Whitney Houston, Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls, Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love.
