In a new video interview from DP/30, METALLICA's Lars Ulrich discusses the new film Metallica Through The Never with David Poland.

Discussing the films origins, Ulrich states: "It started quite a while ago actually... the roots of it go back to '97, '98. Imax were, at that time - basically it was before Imax started showing Hollywood blockbusters and all that type of stuff, they were just doing scuba diving films and nature, frogs and all that stuff. And so they came to us, it was in '97, they came to us and said, 'We want to do a specialty Metallica movie'. Like a 45-minute thing for Imax."

The interview, shot in Los Angeles, September 2013, can be seen below:

Metallica Through The Never in IMAX 3D had the highest opening for a specialty film this past weekend. According to Deadline.com "the action/concert feature grossed over $1.67 million, easily the weekend’s highest grossing specialty newcomer, averaging $5,482. The weekend’s gross is already more than the cume of the previous film centered on the popular heavy metal band. Docu Metallica: Some Kind Of Monster cumed over $1.22 million domestically in 2004. It opened in three theaters in July of that year, averaging $15,453."

Metallica have uploaded more behind-the-scenes footage from their film, Metallica Through The Never, which hit IMAX 3D theatres on September 27th and theatres everywhere on October 4th.
