Metallica Promote New Movie and Play Secret Show
On the fourth floor of the Hilton Bayfront San Diego, at the end of a seemingly endless hallway straddling the back of the building, far away from peering eyes, stood a line of reporters waiting patiently for their chance to get two minutes with the biggest rock band in the world. Metallica was in town, and everyone knew it. In fact, they had taken over Comic-Con's second day (Friday, July 19).
Looking for posters or signs indicating the legendary metal band's presence would have been futile; Metallica was in stealth mode. Yes, the band was talking to the press about the upcoming feature film Metallica: Through The Never, but word was spreading fast that the metal powerhouse was also playing a secret concert at a small, local venue. Probing for details about the concert produced the same answer for every reporter; "Sorry, I don't have any details."
When it came time to dig into the story behind the movie, drummer Lars Ulrich told Radio.com, "You know what, I've spent three years working on this movie and I don't have any idea what it means." Ulrich laughed, understanding that the answer left to much to be desired so he launched into a description of the film saying that the storyline is largely "ambiguous," much like singer James Hetfield's lyrics.
Immediately following our interview, Lars was whisked away to join his bandmates for a panel discussion in front of 6,000-person audience at Comic-Con's Hall H, a popular venue throughout the convention. All four members of Metallica, along with Antal and DeHaan, took questions from the audience and debuted the film's trailer along with an exclusive four-minute clip, shown in breathtaking 3D.

Hours later, a line wrapped around the historic Spreckels Theatre in downtown San Diego. Ticket scalpers lining the sidewalk were far from shy, with one enthusiastically shouting, "I pay cash money for tickets. Where are you? I know you got 'em!" The in-demand tickets were far less plentiful than the street hustlers would have liked.Once inside, 20 oversized speaker cabinets hung from ceiling, blasting more sound than a small theater built in 1912 had likely ever been subjected to. The audience's foot stomping tested the balcony sturdiness, while chandeliers shivered as the Bay-area foursome took the stage to deafening applause, launching with crowd-pleaser "Creeping Death."
Metallica nueva pelicula
La banda estadounidense Metallica aprovechó a la Cómic-Con 2013, que se realiza en San Diego, para presentar un adelanto de su nueva película.
Se trata de Metallica: "Through the Never", dirigida por el cineasta Nimród Antal, filme que llegará a las salas a fines de septiembre.
El cuarteto se presentó ante unas siete mil personas junto con el director y guionista del filme, Nimrod Antal, y la productora Charlotte Huggins.
El nombre del filme toma prestado el título de una de las canciones más representativas de la banda.
Según se puede ver en los avances, la película narra la historia de Trip (interpretado por Dane DeHaan), un joven roadie de Metallica, quien es enviado a una misión urgente durante el show de la banda. Sin embargo, lo que parecía una simple asignación se convierte en una aventura surrealista.
