The film is the first authorised account of the band’s history ever to come to the big screen and has been in production since its original announcement in 2019.

It features new interviews with guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist John Paul Jones and frontman Robert Plant, as well as rare archival interviews with the late drummer John Bonham, who died in 1980.

The trailer shows the band members reflecting on forming the band in 1968 and flying to the United States for their pivotal North American tour in January and February 1969. Watch the clip below.

Becoming Led Zeppelin will be released in over 200 IMAX cinemas across the US and Canada on February 7, with a one-night-only early screening on February 5. Tickets for those screenings can be found here.

Sony Pictures have also confirmed the film’s UK release will include exclusive IMAX screenings on February 5 and 6, before hitting cinemas nationwide on February 7. Tickets go on sale on January 17 and can be found here.

Director Bernard MacMahon has said: “The cinematic power of IMAX paired with the film’s authentic sound creates an immersive and transportive viewing experience letting audiences feel like they are there, in the venues with the band.”

“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,” writer/producer Allison McGourty said. “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.”

“We couldn’t be more excited to be partnering with IMAX and Sony Pictures Classics to bring this film to big screens for all audiences, Zeppelin fans, of course, but also all music lovers and anyone looking for an inspiring, uplifting story with amazing music,” McGourty added.

A rough version of the documentary was premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September 2021 but hasn’t been seen since.
