The 18-city whirlwind White Stripes 2007 tour of Canada in which Meg and Jack White promoted their album Icky Thump will be documented in their forthcoming film, The White Stripes Under Great White Northern Lights.
Jack leaked the news about the project to Mojo magazine (the interview isn’t online) this month and pointed out that the film’s title lines up well with their last DVD effort, saying, “our last concert film we made was The White Stripes Under Blackpool Lights.”
The fact that the film features their Canadian tour is particularly interesting because we just found out that Meg’s exhaustion, which caused the cancellation of much of the American leg of the tour, began amid the Canadian jaunt.
Also worth noting, in Self-Titled’s interview with The Dead Weather recently where Jack first revealed that he was working on a movie, he added that it could possibly be released in theaters.
