A new feature documentary, Man on the Run, will feature the post-Beatles life of Paul McCartney as one of the world's greatest musicians. The documentary will explore Paul's journey with his late wife Linda McCartney after the breakup of The Beatles.
The documentary will encompass his journey from his self-titled album and the first of an eventual trilogy, McCartney, to the formation of his second band, Wings, and their subsequent albums. This journey paved the way to giving Paul’s career a second life that is still going to this day.
The project will be directed by Academy Award-winning director Morgan Neville. Speaking about the subject of his upcoming documentary, Neville said: “As a lifelong obsessive of all things McCartney, I’ve always felt that the 1970s were the great under-examined part of his story. I’m thrilled to have the chance to explore and reappraise this crucial moment in a great artist’s life and work.”
Man on the Run is produced by Michele Anthony, David Blackman, Caitrin Rogers and Scott Rodger and Ben Chappell from MPL and is fully financed by MPL and Polygram Entertainment. The film is presented and produced by MPL, Polygram Entertainment and Tremolo Productions.
