Metallica are headed to the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, but they aren't going alone. They are coming armed with their new 3D film, Through the Never.
According to Variety, the band has intentions of both shopping and screening the film at the festival.
"After wading through multiple international distribution options for our film, we are excited to be partnering up with the folks at Exclusive Media, who we feel understand Metallica and understand our film better than anyone else," drummer Lars Ulrich said in a statement.
"Throw in the cherry-on-top, launching our international sales with a couple of screenings at the film market during a little up-and-coming film festival in Cannes, and it feels like we're off to a pretty rockin' start."
According to a press release, Through the Never tells "the story of a band crew member who is sent out on a mission during Metallica's live set in front of a sold-out arena; while on this mission, he unexpectedly has his life turned completely upside down."
