Definitely so much ground to cover…

In news that’ll make any raver/ lover of EDM stoked with excitement, UK group The Prodigy are working on a feature-length music documentary. Produced by the group’s founding members Liam Howlett and Maxim, the doco is set to be the “raw, uncompromising and emotional story of a gang of young outlaws from Essex who came together in the vortex of the late ’80s UK rave scene.”

Howlett and Maxim have said that they plan to achieve this through combining archive footage, animation and first-hand testimonies in a touching tribute to their frontman Keith Flint, who passed away in 2019 after taking his own life. Reflecting on Flint’s death and the upcoming doco, the two said in a statement “After the devastating passing of our brother Keef in 2019, the time feels right for us to tell the story of our band, all of it, the whole nine.

“It’s a story of the chaotic and troubled journey of our gang, our band, the people’s band, The Prodigy,” they added. “Or simply, a story of brothers on a mission to make noise, to ignite the people’s soul and blow-up sound systems worldwide, that’s fucking what. This film will be made with the same integrity that our music: uncompromising, raw and honest. This one’s for Keef!”

Director Dugdale, who has helmed features for the likes of Adele, The Rolling Stones, Ed Sheeran and a bunch more has teased the grit of the upcoming epic, stating that “Dark at times, strong changes of pace, it will be a visual assault too, stylistically striking, contemporary and challenging,” said Dugdale. “We want the viewers to leave the cinema like they’ve just stepped off a roller-coaster.”

The doco is set to begin production this Spring. Check out the video for their iconic hit ‘Firestarter’ below.
