The Cure's Robert Smith has confirmed that work is fully underway on a definitive DVD documentary to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the band's debut album, "Three Imaginary Boys".
??
Speaking to Billboard.com, Smith revealed that although the film would not be released until 2009, it would encompass an hour for every decade of The Cure's life.
??
He said: "This will include interviews with everybody who has ever been in the band, and everybody who has been an important part of The Cure."
??
Smith is also hoping to bring onboard the services of longtime Cure video director Tim Pope to assist with the as-yet-untitled project. He added: "Tim has been there from 1982 onward into the mid '90s. We've kept in touch and he's done some things with us since. People will react to him very well in an interview scenario."
??
Also in the pipeline for 2008 are expanded reissues of the vintage Cure albums "Disintegration" and "Wish", which Smith had to put on hold while finishing the band's as-yet-untitled forthcoming album.
??
"Disintegration" will feature a bonus disc of new remixes, while "Wish" should include a new 5.1 audio mix.
??
The Cure will tour Japan, Australia and North America later this year. |
