Anvil to Guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! By Newsferatu, Writer Wednesday, May 6, 2009 @ 5:03 PM
Anvil! The Story of Anvil is the directorial debut of screenwriter Sacha Gervasi (The Terminal) and was produced by Rebecca Yeldham (The Kite Runner and The Motorcycle Diaries). The film follows Steve “Lips” Kudlow and Robb Reiner and their band, Anvil, which released one of the heaviest albums in metal history, 1982’s Metal on Metal. The album influenced an entire musical generation of rock bands, including Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax, who all went on to sell millions of records. Anvil, on the other hand, took a different path—straight to obscurity. The film is both entertaining and touching as it follows their last-ditch quest for the fame and fortune that has been so elusive to them. Anvil! The Story of Anvil is a timeless tale of survival and the unadulterated passion it takes to follow your dream, year after year.
Praised as "The best documentary I’ve seen in years,” by documentarian Michael Moore, Anvil! The Story of Anvil contains appearances by an array of heavy metal icons, including METALLICA’s Lars Ulrich, former member of GUNS N' ROSES’ Slash, ANTHRAX' Scott Ian, and SLAYER’s Tom Araya, among others.
Celebrities unconnected to the film have rallied around it, urging their fans to see Anvil in theaters. Among them are: Ryan Gosling, Dustin Hoffman, Benji and Joel Madden of Good Charlotte, John Mayer, Mandy Moore, Keanu Reeves, Morgan Spurlock and Rob Thomas.
Anvil! The Story of Anvil, currently playing in theaters, is distributed by VH1 in association with Abramorama. This fall, VH1 will release the film on television and DVD under its Emmy Award-winning VH1 Rock Docs franchise.
