The Grateful Dead Will get Truckin On Music-Driven Feature Film Package

EXCLUSIVE: Numerous films concerning the Grateful Dead have popped up, however the challenge happens to be to obtain music privileges. Now, ICM has got the opposite situation. The company continues to be granted unparalleled use of the seminal band’s music catalog and can package a story-style feature film built around individuals tunes. ICM lit agent Bruce Kaufman is leading the charge. He's carried this out before, including brokering using 20 re-recorded tunes in the Beatles for Over the World. He’s working carefully using the Grateful Dead team which includes band archivist David Lemieux and Mark Pinkus, GM of Grateful Dead Qualities at Warner Group’s Rhino Entertainment. This guitar rock band granted Rhino exclusive control over The Grateful Dead’s intellectual property in 2006. Created in 1965, the Bay Area-based band split up in 1995 after frontman/guitarist Jerry Garcia died soon after this guitar rock band was awarded with a Rock 'n roll Hall of Fame. The Dead spent 3 decades together and did 2300 live performances attended with a rabid following of Deadheads who adopted this guitar rock band mix country to listen to these endless improvisational performances. The expectation would be that the music is going to be used not for any biopic, but instead a movie that captures that psychedelic Haight-Ashbury hippie spirit from the late 60s and early 70s, grounded by Dead tunes like Truckin’, U.S. Blues, Dark Star and Good Lovin’.
