Cameron Crowe will step behind the camera for his first movie in eight years with a project two years in the making about Joni Mitchell.
Academy Award winner Cameron Crowe is finally returning to filmmaking eight years after his last film. Per an exclusive from Jeff Sneider at Above the Line, the Almost Famous helmer has spent the last two years developing a new project with his good friend Joni Mitchell about the singer-songwriter. He's once again set to write and direct, re-teaming with his Vinyl Films partner Greg Mariotti to produce the film.
Not much is known about the film aside from its subject, though sources say it's not your traditional musical biopic due to the close relationship Crowe and Mitchell share. Crowe has been tied to the hip with Mitchell as a reporter for Rolling Stone and other outlets, writing about her from when he was a young journalist all the way to when he interviewed her for the 50th anniversary of her legendary 1971 album Blue.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Mitchell has quite the life to pull from too. The 10-time Grammy winner rose up from working nightclubs in Toronto to become one of folk music's legends with massive hits such as "Both Sides Now," "River," "Big Yellow Taxi," and "A Case of You" among so many others. Moreover, she was hailed as a multi-talented artist, not just writing and performing many of her songs, but also designing several of her album covers.
A music biopic seems like the perfect step forward for him. He earned a Grammy nod for producing the documentary David Crosby: Remember My Name and he was originally slated to do a biopic on the great Marvin Gaye, though it ultimately fell through. We're still at the peak of the biopic too with Baz Luhrmann's Elvis reigning supreme alongside a string of other fantastic films. The deeply personal nature of Crowe and Mitchell's film, however, could make it stand out among the crowd.
