Announced in August according to a tweet from the drummer Chuck Comeau, a possible DVD documentary about fans of Simple Plan and SimplePlan.cz confirmed this information already contained in an interview that the site made with the guys some time ago. The difference in the information announced for those that have been confirmed, is that the documentary will be released in ARTV CA and TFO CA. In addition, the documentary will be shown during the year 2012 and has as its main theme “Je Suis Fan” (I’m a fan, in english) and the first exhibition will be on January 09 in the transmission channels reported.
According to Chuck Comeau and Sebastien, this documentary will have about an hour and a half. See parts of the interview by SPCZ about this:
“It’s a nice documentary that an awesome team from Quebec is doing. I think it started off, because they wanted to do a little documentary on music and fans and then it became so much more than that because they started meeting some of our fans, they saw how special the fans were and how great of a relationship we have with them. So it’s just gonna be a beautiful peace on the band and the fans and how we all love each other.”
Chuck then added: “Yeah, it’s really about how the love of music can make people do extraordinary things like travel to go see bands, make friendships and there’s all kinds of stories that revolves around our fans and their lives. And how they’re all connected to Simple Plan and how loving the band got them to meet other friends, and got them even to jobs sometimes. It’s really interesting. It will be cool to see it all together. They filmed everything: they filmed from to the videoshoot of Can’t Keep My Hands Off You and Astronaut, they came to the Montreal secret show, they came to the Quebec outdoor show. they were in Japan with us…”
Some other information about the documentary:
This documentary will be called “Je Suis Fan” (meaning “I am a fan”) and right now is in the final stages of production of the same team of people, who were behind the recording of Simple Plan’s performance with the Montreal Symphonic Orchestra – Groupe PVP. The direcor of the documentary is yet again miss Yanie Dupont-Hebert, who used to work for MusiquePlus, so she’s known the guys since the times of Reset. It is important to make it clear that Je Suis Fan is not just a film about the Simple Plan Fans, but generally about the fans of music: apart from the SP fans, the documentary also focuses on Roch Voisine or Paula Anka’s fans. A documentary that will be only about the fans of Simple Plan (meaning it will be an extended and more concrete version of Je Suis Fan) will be called “Simple Fans” and should be released (by the same team of producers) perhaps also sometimes in 2012.
Je Suis Fan will air for the first time on January 9th 2012 on RDI, and its full version will air during 2012 on ARTV and TFO. A press release with more information and pictures should be released soon.
