New Documentary 'Becoming Led Zeppelin' Shares Release Date and Trailer

Shortly after it was announced the first authorized doc about Fleetwood Mac would be released, now it's been revealed Led Zeppelin has the same thing coming. The first official documentary on the British rock band arrives exclusively in IMAX theaters February 7, 2025.

In the new teaser, footage of the legendary group over the years is mixed in with present-day interviews, old home movies, and live concerts. The documentary will also feature a never-before-heard interview with the late John Bonham.

Becoming Led Zeppelin tells the story of Led Zeppelin in the members’ own words. In addition to new interviews with Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones, it includes unearthed material from all four members’ personal archives. Director Bernard MacMahon also successfully uncovered previously unseen footage from the band’s 1969 concerts at the Atlanta Pop Festival, the Fillmore West, and the Texas Pop Festival.

“We spent five years flying back and forth across the Atlantic scouring attics and basements in pursuit of rare and unseen film footage, photographs and music recordings,” writer-producer Allison McGourty said in a press release. “Then we transferred each piece of media with custom techniques, so that in IMAX, these 55-year-old clips and music would look and sound like they came out of the lab yesterday.”

The hybrid docu-concert film was first announced in 2019, as part of Led Zeppelin's 50th anniversary celebration. It originally premiered as a work in progress at Venice Film Festival in 2021. On that event, Jimmy Page said to the press: “When I saw the early cut of the film premiered, at the Venice Film Festival, it was amazing. The energy of the story, and the power of the music, is phenomenal.”

Now that the film is completed, it has been acquired by Sony Pictures Classics for North American release next year.
