‘Rush: Cinema Strangiato 2019’ Coming Soon to Theaters

Rush fans across the globe are celebrating the latest news from the iconic rock band. On August 21st, there will be a cinematic screening of Rush: Cinema Strangiato 2019.

Singer-bassist Geddy Lee, recently sat for a new interview about Geddy Lee’s Big Beautiful Book of Bass, which was published in December. But the rock legend also had some thoughts on the film. “I’m excited for fans to see some new clips from our R40 tour but also a peek behind the scenes of making the Big Beautiful Book of Bass.”

The film will feature a hodge-podge of song performances, including “Tom Sawyer,” “Closer to the Heart” and “Subdivisions,” unreleased soundcheck and backstage footage from the 2015 R40 40th anniversary tour, and new interviews with producer Nick Raskulinecz and Rush peer fans Billy Corgan, Tom Morello and Taylor Hawkins, who inducted the Canadian trio into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with fellow Foo Fighter Dave Grohl in 2013.

“As long as they do it with a high level of quality and the fans appreciate them and having these obscure tracks here and there, that’s fine,” Lee said. “They pass everything by us to make sure we sign off on it, and there are discussions that go on from time to time. As long as it’s a quality thing they’re releasing, I’m good with that.”
