Shane Meadows’ documenatary on The Stone Roses will be released in cinemas next year. 

Produced by Warp Films, the production sees Meadows – director of This Is England, Dead Man’s Shoes and more – follow the seminal Manchester band’s reunion gigs from earlier this year, including their Seaton Park homecomings (one of which sadly ended in tragedy).

In an interview with BBC 6 Music (via NME), Warp Films’ Mark Herbert revealed that “Shane’s got [the film] into a shape now to show the band and the plan is that we’ll lock it by Christmas and do post-production in the new year for release sometime next year.”

“We haven’t set a release date yet, it won’t be physically finished until the spring but it will be released in cinemas. We deliberately didn’t want it to be something that went straight to DVD. It’s Shane Meadows making a movie with The Stone Roses and there’s lots of Shane Meadows trademarks in there.”

Earlier this month, it was announced that a cast of musicians, including Jah Wobble and collaborators with UNKLE, would re-score Meadows’ Dead Man’s Shoes live to celebrate 10 years of Warp Films.

The Stone Roses, meanwhile, are yet to confirm rumours of a new album, but their signage of a two-album deal with Universal earlier this year implies that it will happen. The group recently announced tour dates for 2013.
