Martin Scorsese’s concert documentary Shine a Light will show
the world the Rolling Stones as they’ve never been seen before.
Filming at the famed Beacon Theatre in New York City in fall
2006, Scorsese assembled a legendary team of cinematographers to
capture the raw energy of the legendary band.
Oscar®-winning cinematographer Robert Richardson (“The Aviator,”
“JFK”) supervised the camera team comprised of several highly
acclaimed directors of photography, including Oscar® winner John
Toll (“The Last Samurai,” “Braveheart”) Oscar® winner Andrew
Lesnie (“The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, “King Kong”), Oscar®
nominee Stuart Dryburgh (“The Piano,” “The Painted Veil”),
Oscar® nominee Robert Elswit (“Magnolia,” “Good Night and Good
Luck”), Oscar® nominee Emmanuel Lubezki (“Lemony Snicket’s A
Series of Unfortunate Events,” “Sleepy Hollow”) and Ellen Kuras
(“Summer of Sam,” “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”). The
film was edited by David Tedeschi, who most recently worked with
Scorsese on the acclaimed Bob Dylan documentary “No Direction
Home: Bob Dylan.”
Shine A Light has been digitally re-mastered into the
unparalleled image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience®
through IMAX DMR (Digital Re-mastering) technology. IMAX
creates an environment that puts audiences in the movie (or at
the concert, in this case). Shine A Light: The IMAX Experience
will debut concurrently with the nationwide release in
conventional theatres from Paramount Classics on April 4th.
Financed by Steve Bing's Shangri-La Entertainment and longtime
Rolling Stones tour promoter Michael Cohl's Concert Promotions
International, the film was produced by Victoria Pearman,
Michael Cohl, Zane Weiner and Steve Bing. The executive
producers are Stones members Mick Jagger, Keith Richards,
Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood, with Jane Rose serving as
co-executive producer.
