Man on the Run 🏃♂️ is here to bore you with yet another intimate journey through Paul McCartney’s life, because we all know you haven’t heard enough about him. This time it’s about what happened after The Beatles split, and how he formed Wings with his totally-not-annoying wife, Linda.
Directed by the ever-so-humble Academy Award-winning director Morgan Neville (because apparently, winning an award means you can make anything), this film will meticulously chronicle McCartney’s solo career as he bravely faces the earth-shattering challenge of…making more music. 🎶 Prepare to be amazed by how he defined a whole new decade, or at least, that’s what they want you to think. Featuring never-before-seen footage (probably because it was too boring to show before) and rare archival materials (dusty old tapes, yay!), this documentary promises a uniquely vulnerable look at Paul’s post-Beatles era. Get ready to pretend you care! 🙄
Man on the Run, generously brought to you by Amazon MGM Studios (because who else would fund this?), is produced by Tremolo, in association with MPL and Polygram Entertainment. Because it takes a village to create a documentary about Paul McCartney. The film will be gracing select cinemas before crash-landing on Prime Video on February 25 in more than 240 countries and territories. Because everyone in the world needs to witness this. Producers include Morgan Neville, Chloe Simmons, and Meghan Walsh for Tremolo; Scott Rodger and Ben Chappell for MPL; and Michele Anthony and David Blackman for Polygram Entertainment. Executive producers include Caitrin Rogers and, of course, the man himself, Paul McCartney. Because who else would trust anyone else to tell his story? 🤔
But wait, there’s more! This documentary is just the tip of the iceberg 🧊 in a comprehensive new partnership among Paul McCartney, Universal Music Group, and Amazon. Get ready for a year-long blitz of McCartney-related content! This includes the release of exclusive music (because we haven’t heard enough already) and a series of merchandise drops with Amazon Music. Finally, you can buy that Paul McCartney-branded toilet paper you’ve always dreamed of! Shop til you drop on Paul McCartney’s official store on Amazon.com and in the Amazon Music app. And as if that’s not enough, there will be one-of-a-kind commentary from McCartney himself. Brace yourselves. 🎤 The partnership conveniently coincides with the release of his book Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run, which will be available on Amazon and Audible. Because reading is too mainstream, now you can have Paul read to you! Also, get ready for ‘WINGS,’ the definitive self-titled collection available on streaming and limited edition vinyl. Because nothing says “I’m a true fan” like overpaying for vinyl. And if you’re still not satisfied, catch McCartney’s Got Back tour dates across North America this autumn. Because he hasn’t milked this enough already. 🐄
