Paul McCartney‘s forthcoming Wings documentary Man On The Run is set to be screened in cinemas for one night only next month.
The documentary will focus on McCartney’s life post-Beatles, where he formed Wings alongside his late wife Linda. The film is set to be released on February 27 on Prime Video via Amazon MGM Studios.
Ahead of its release, the film will be screened in cinemas worldwide for one night only on February 19. Tickets will go on sale from 2pm GMT on February 4, and can be purchased here.
In addition to the film, each theatrical screening will include a bonus conversation between McCartney and director Morgan Neville.
According to a press release, Paul McCartney: Man On The Run captures McCartney’s “transformative decade in the wake of The Beatles’ break-up and the rise of his new band Wings.
“Through stunning archival footage, Linda McCartney’s exceptional photographs, interviews with Paul, Linda, Mary and Stella McCartney, a number of Wings band members, Sean Ono Lennon, Mick Jagger, Chrissie Hynde, and more, the film examines this time through a uniquely vulnerable lens.”
Earlier this month, a trailer for the film was shared which showed McCartney detailing his feelings following his split from The Beatles in 1970, remarking: “I fell very depressed, but I was very lucky, because I had Linda”.
The trailer also shows the journey of Wings from their rocky start with debut album ‘Wild Life’ to their acclaimed third album, ‘Band On The Run’. Intimate behind-the-scenes footage of Wings touring, along with other rare, unreleased footage and music, will be featured in the documentary.
McCartney also discusses his deteriorating relationship with ex-bandmate John Lennon in the documentary: “We’d had arguments and all of that, but we’d loved each other all our lives”.
Last year, McCartney released the book Wings: The Story Of A Band On The Run. The book is an oral history that explores the impact of the band across their albums and follows various incarnations of the line-up through their career.
Over 100 photographs featured in Wings: The Story Of A Band On The Run – many of which have never been seen before.
Elsewhere, Wings released the documentary One Hand Clapping, as well as its accompanying 1974 live-in-studio album, in 2024.
That same year, the band also shared a five-decade edition of their 1973 third album, ‘Band On The Run’.
