"We attempted to do a video," the band’s Liam Howlett recalled to triple j’s Linda Marigliano recently. If it weren’t for the band’s uncompromising vision, confidence in standing up for their art, and willingness to lose a lot of their record label’s money. “Partnering with The Prodigy and their long-time directing collaborator Paul Dugdale enables us to continue that tradition and create a film that reflects the heart, sheer imagination and danger of The Prodigy.But this now iconic video almost looked very different. “Our ethos at Pulse Films in the music documentary space has always been to tell unique stories about iconic artists in new and disruptive ways,” says Bridger, Head of Music Films at Pulse Films. The film will be produced by Pulse Films, the company behind such high caliber music-focused films as Beyoncé’s Lemonade, LCD Soundystem’s Shut Up And Play The Hits and Nick Cave’s 20,000 Days On Earth. Pulse Films’ Thomas Benski, Marisa Clifford and Sam Bridger will produce with Howlett, Maxim and band co-manager John Fairs in the role of executive producer. Or simply - a story of brothers on a mission to make noise…to ignite the peoples souls and blow-up sound systems worldwide…that’s fukin what! This film will be made with the same integrity that our music is - uncompromising, raw and honest…This one’s for Keef!”
“After the devastating passing of our brother Keef in 2019, the time feels right for us to tell the story of our band, all of it, the whole 9 … It’s a story of the chaotic and troubled journey of our gang, our band, the peoples band - The Prodigy. “We are making a band documentary film…so fukin what?” Maxim and Howlett says in a joint statement. Production is expected to begin this spring. No release date has been announced for the doc, the first major project from The Prodigy since longtime member Keith Flint died by hanging in March of 2019.
