Synopsis

Behind-the-scenes archive documentary following Queen's Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon as they record their sixth album News of the World and embark on a groundbreaking tour of North America.

By 1977, Queen had become a major headlining act in the UK, releasing chart-topping albums and singles as well as playing sell-out concerts in all the country's major venues. However, they were facing an increasingly hostile music press, who had a new favourite in punk and had turned against the elaborate, multi-layered recording techniques that had become the hallmark of the band's previous albums.

But an unfazed Queen had their sights set on greater things. As the band announced plans to record their next album, the expectation was it would be another production extravaganza, but Freddie, Brian, Roger and John already had other ideas. News of the World showcased them at their most raw, simple and best, returning to their roots as a live act. With a self-imposed limit on studio time and produced entirely on their own for the first time, this stripped-back album took the fans and press by surprise and demonstrated Queen's ability to transcend fashions. It was to prove a seminal moment in the band's history.

At the time, BBC music presenter Bob Harris was given exclusive and extensive access to the band to cover this period. Conducting insightful interviews with all four band members as well as filming them at work in the studio as they were planning and rehearsing their forthcoming North American tour, and then following them as they performed across the US, Bob captured a band attempting to replicate their huge domestic success on the global stage. Curiously, the documentary he set out to make was never completed, and the footage lay unused in the archive until now.

To mark the 40th anniversary of the release of the News of the World album, the footage has now been carefully restored and revisited to compile this hour-long portrait of a group setting out to take the next step on their remarkable journey to becoming one of the biggest bands on the planet. Armed with an array of new songs, including the monster hits We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions, Queen dazzled the American audience and laid the foundations of a relationship that endures to this very day.

Sinopsis (Español)

Documental de archivo detrás de escena detrás de Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Fred Taylor, Roger Taylor y John Deacon, de Queen, mientras graban su sexto álbum News of the World y se embarcan en una gira pionera por Norteamérica.

En 1977, Queen se había convertido en un acto principal en el Reino Unido, presentando discos y singles con tope de lista, y tocando conciertos repletos en todas las salas principales del país. Sin embargo, se enfrentaron a una prensa musical cada vez más hostil, que tenía un nuevo favorito en el punk y se había vuelto en contra de las elaboradas técnicas de grabación de múltiples capas que se habían convertido en el sello distintivo de los álbumes anteriores de la banda.

En ese momento, el presentador de música de la BBC, Bob Harris, tuvo acceso exclusivo y amplio a la banda para cubrir este período. Conduciendo perspicaces entrevistas con los cuatro miembros de la banda y filmándolos en el estudio mientras planificaban y ensayaban su próxima gira por América del Norte, y luego los seguían mientras tocaban por los Estados Unidos, Bob capturó una banda que intentaba replicar su enorme éxito nacional en el escenario global. Curiosamente, el documental que se propuso hacer nunca se completó, y el metraje quedó sin utilizar en el archivo hasta ahora.

Para conmemorar el 40 aniversario del lanzamiento del álbum News of the World, el metraje ahora se ha restaurado y revisado cuidadosamente para compilar este retrato de una hora de un grupo que se prepara para dar el siguiente paso en su notable viaje para convertirse en uno de las bandas más grandes del planeta. Armada con una variedad de nuevas canciones, incluidos los éxitos del monstruo We Will Rock You y We Are The Champions, Queen deslumbró a la audiencia estadounidense y sentó las bases de una relación que perdura hasta el día de hoy.
