Oasis Band Documentary By Amy Filmmakers Is In The Works

The English rock band formed in Manchester in 1991 - Oasis, will be having a feature-length profile to be produced by the group responsible for the record-breaking 2015 British documentary film - Amy Winehouse.

The Oasis film will "document the journey from the moment in 1991 when the lead guitarist and co-lead vocalist Noel Gallagher joined his brother Liam's band" until their angry and bitter split.

As stated by the reports, the filmmakers have been given "unprecedented access" to the band behind the hit song 'Don't Look Back in Anger' and their archives.

Kapadia, a British filmmaker who directed several award-winning films like The Sheep Thief, has taken a production role on the Oasis film.

Mat Whitecross (whose debut feature film "The Road to Guantanamo") will direct the documentary of the Oasis. Mat Whitecross previously made the Spike Island film of the English rock band Stone Roses - a fictional story on the subject of a wannabe rock band who tried to get their demo tape into the hands of their idols at their seminal outdoor gig near Widnes.

Mat Whitecross also got praised enthusiastically and publicly for Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll, his whimsical, naughty biopic of punk pioneer Ian Dury, with an extremely noticeable central performance by Andy Serkis.

Andrew Orr, Independent Films managing director, said in a statement, "Oasis is without a doubt one of the classic British rock bands, selling 70 million albums globally and describing exactly the nature of the sound of a whole era," "At its heart are brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, two of the finest rock 'n' roll stars this country has ever produced. Director Mat's sensibility and manner of doing something are going to provide the perfect complement to this tale of the rise of one of the great rock 'n' roll bands."

However, the story of the Oasis band is less disastrous and much more complicated. Initially called Rain, where in 1993 they were signed to Alan McGee's Creation Records. A year later their debut album, Definitely Maybe topped the charts. However, the Gallagher brothers' irritable and quarrelsome relationship was already a story.
