“Is anybody going to get grumpy & irritable and start fighting with each other?” Oscope Labs has debuted the official trailer for a documentary film called Dig! XX, a brand new update on the classic rock doc Dig! from 2004. Re-directed by Ondi Timoner, Dig! XX (now 20 years later) is a bigger, better, crazier expanded reimagining of the original cut – reminds us why the original is canon and why sometimes, more is better. Dig! XX tracks the tumultuous rise of two talented musicians – Anton Newcombe, leader of the Brian Jonestown Massacre, and Courtney Taylor, leader of the Dandy Warhols, and dissects their star-crossed friendship and bitter rivalry. Through loves and obsessions, gigs and recordings, arrests and death threats, uppers and downers, and ultimately to their chance at a piece of the profit-driven music business, they stage a self-proclaimed revolution in the music industry. This features Courtney Taylor-Taylor, Peter Holmström, Joel Gion, Zia Mccabe. This first premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival and it will be released soon.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Ondi Timoner’s rock doc Dig! XX, direct from YouTube:
20 years ago, Sundance was rocked by DIG!, Ondi Timoner’s genre-topping rockumentary about two Gen-X bands and their journey to alt-rock glory. Shot over nearly a decade, DIG! explores the collision of art and commerce through the star-crossed friendship and bitter rivalry of dueling 90s bands The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Through their loves and obsessions, gigs, arrests and death threats, uppers and downers, and ultimately right up to their shot at mainstream success, they stage a self-proclaimed revolution in the music industry. Dig! XX is directed by the American doc filmmaker Ondi Timoner, director of the doc films Dig!, Join Us, We Live in Public, Cool It, and Brand: A Second Coming, Last Flight Home, and also Mapplethorpe. Produced by David Timoner, Ondi Timoner, Farah White, and Michael Wilson. This initially premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. Oscope Labs will debut Timoner’s Dig! XX in select US theaters sometime in early 2025. For more info, visit their site.
