Writer/director Cameron Crowe’s “love letter” to Pearl Jam will arrive this fall in the form of a new documentary covering their humble beginnings, “the chaos that ensued soon-after their rise to megastardom, their step back from center stage,” and the Seattle rock band’s entire 20-year career up to the present. Aptly titled Pearl Jam Twenty, the film, which was compiled from over a thousand hours of rare footage, will premiere on PBS on October 21.
While a teaser clip pointing out the band’s early name change from Mookie Blaylock has been floating around for months, the promising official trailer arrived today, revealing that the film includes an interview with frontman Eddie Vedder conducted by David Lynch. Check it out above.
