The film directed by Gavin Fitzgerald and Charlie Lightening was made available at the Cannes marketplace this week, and Screen Media will release it in the fall to coincide with Gallagher’s second solo album. It also already has a U.K. release set for June 7, and the film will premiere with a special event at the Alexandra Palace venue, which sold out in 90 seconds. The documentary, which released its first clip back in April, shows Gallagher preparing for a solo show in Manchester, England. The singer had gone through his champagne supernova years and was fighting for a comeback at the time the film was made. The frequently outspoken rock star, who is known for giving brash, F-bomb-filled interviews, doesn’t disappoint.

I joined a band because I love music. I know how f—ing great I am, and I know how s— I am.” Gallagher’s 2017 album “As You Were” was a critical and commercial success. Before that he was the frontman of the Britpop ’90s legends Oasis alongside his brother Noel Gallagher, but the two have frequently been at each other’s throats and the band split in 2009. A documentary about Oasis and about the Gallagher brothers’ constant feuding, “Oasis: Supersonic,” was released in 2016. Steve Lappin is a producer on “As It Was.” Lightening has previously worked on music videos and short films with Paul McCartney, Jamiroquai and Gallagher’s former band Beady Eye. MEDIA

Haven't seen any pre-release info for As It Was, for the US......anyone seen a release date? I hope it's not something they'll want us to wait until the album comes out to enjoy.

Out of spite for how stupid it is to stagger this release, I will not buy it when it eventually comes out.

I'll buy it because I like to support everything Liam does and obviously would like to own a physical copy of the release, but yes, this has been handled very badly. Hope they sort it out soon.

I had expected it to go straight to DVD in the US. Still waiting for the opportunity to purchase.

Any chance for an deluxe album with the As It Was as bonus dvd?

I get that they want to drop the documentary alongside the release of WMWN,
but the fact that it's going to have been out for almost 3 months makes me feel like Warner Music is following a marketing plan that does not have any consideration for the internet age we all live in.

A buddy of mine still quotes that movie a lot to this day. Odds are it hasn't aged that well, but it was hilarious when I was younger.
