More about Becoming Led Zeppelin explored

As per a Variety article, published on December 5, 2024, Bernard MacMahon said in a statement:

As mentioned in Variety, writer-producer Allison McGourty said:

“We spent five years flying back and forth across the Atlantic scouring attics and basements in pursuit of rare and unseen film footage, photographs and music recordings. Then we transferred each piece of media with custom techniques, so that in Imax, these 55-year-old clips and music would look and sound like they came out of the lab yesterday.”
