Apple Original Films has announced the development of a definitive documentary on Fleetwood Mac, adding a new chapter to the iconic band's rich history. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Frank Marshall, the documentary promises to be a comprehensive exploration of the band’s storied career, from their humble beginnings in 1967 through their tumultuous yet wildly successful years during the 1970s and beyond. This project is touted as the first fully authorized documentary about Fleetwood Mac, with band members Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks contributing to the narration in their own words. Fans of the legendary rock band can expect a deep dive into the personal stories and collective experiences of the members, highlighting the unique dynamic that allowed them to create a lasting musical legacy.

The documentary will feature never-before-seen footage, exclusive new interviews, and archival material, including interviews with the late Christine McVie, who passed away in 2022. This film seeks to unravel the complex personal and professional relationships within the band, whose music has been lauded for blending personal drama into timeless hits. “It's not a Rumour,” announced Fleetwood Mac in a nod to their renowned 1977 album, as the film will take audiences on a journey through the band’s highs, lows, and everything in between. With over 220 million records sold worldwide, Fleetwood Mac’s impact on the music industry is indisputable, making this documentary a highly anticipated addition to their narrative.

The film promises to showcase the band's extensive Billboard-chart success, from their sole No. 1 single “Dreams” to their four albums that reached the top of the Billboard 200: *Fleetwood Mac* (1975), *Rumours* (1977), *Mirage* (1982), and *The Dance* (1997). The goal is to highlight not just the band’s music, but the creativity that each member brought to the group, fostering an unparalleled musical chemistry that captivated fans across generations. Fleetwood Mac managed to transcend the challenges posed by internal conflicts and public scrutiny, creating art that has stood the test of time. As producer Nicholas Ferrall mentions, “Fleetwood Mac are a musical phenomenon, their alchemy almost beyond comprehension.”

The documentary, which remains untitled, is set to be produced by The Kennedy/Marshall Company and White Horse Pictures, with Nicholas Ferrall and Jeanne Elfant Festa taking on production roles. The storytelling will be enriched by Marshall’s illustrious experience, having previously directed acclaimed documentaries like *The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart*. Apple’s involvement underscores the documentary’s prestige, aligning with its catalog of award-winning projects including *CODA* and *STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie*.

The release date for the documentary has not been announced yet, but it is expected to provide a captivating insight into the world of Fleetwood Mac, offering an unprecedented look at the personal and creative forces behind some of the most enduring music of the modern era. With the backing of Apple Original Films and the talented team led by Frank Marshall, this project is poised to be a definitive account of Fleetwood Mac's unparalleled journey in the music world.
