The Future Is Unwritten, a new film from Julien Temple (director of The Filth and the Fury, a film about punk legends The Sex Pistols) documents the life and times of the legendary Joe Strummer. The film includes interviews with such Strummer disciples as Bono, actors Johnny Depp and John Cusack, members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Clash as well as unseen footage of Strummer’s early life, as well as unearthed clips of the Clash and the Mescaleros, the band he fronted in the years prior to his 2002 death.
News of the film arrives shortly following a special Clash exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and just prior to the Nov. 14 release of The Singles, a Legacy box set collecting the band’s 19 U.K. singles.http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003353439
