'Columbine' team for Manics documentary

The production team responsible for Michael Moore's Bowling For Columbine are to make a documentary about the Manic Street Preachers.

The documentary will tell the story of the lives and careers of band members James Dean Bradfield, Nicky Wire, Sean Moore, and Richey Edwards, who disappeared ten years ago.

Bassist/lyricist Nicky Wire, real name Nick Jones, told PopMatters: “They are coming over in April to start filming a documentary on us, which is startling, really.

"I don't know if you've watched any of them, but to me, anyway, documentaries are the best things around at the moment, from Capturing the Friedmans ... obviously Michael Moore's stuff.

"There's a brilliant one on the Ramones, End of the Century, at the moment which is fantastic. They just want to do a proper job on it, go to the Sundance festival and all that kind of thing.???
