Neither agency replied to emails requesting an update on the film. LedZepNews also contacted two PR agencies, DDA and MPRM Communications, that were hired to promote “Becoming Led Zeppelin” around the time of its premiere in Venice last year. Representatives for Warner Music Group, Led Zeppelin’s record label, ignored a request for comment submitted through their website. They were unable to provide any information about the status of “Becoming Led Zeppelin”. We were told that the PR agency initially hired to promote the film when it was first announced, Nasty Little Man, is no longer paid by Led Zeppelin and doesn’t work with the band any longer. In preparation for covering the one-year anniversary of the film’s premiere, LedZepNews contacted a range of people in a position to share information about the status of “Becoming Led Zeppelin”. It was left to the administrator of Led Zeppelin’s official forum to publish an update on the film on September 3, revealing that it’s being re-edited a year after its premiere and the filmmakers are still looking for footage of the band to include. The online promotional campaign was never launched and fans have been left wondering when they’ll be able to see the film. Now, one year after the film’s premiere, the timing of the release of “Becoming Led Zeppelin” is uncertain. Another’s review, which complained of a lack of unseen footage, was paraphrased as “devastating”. “ lot of people here will be disappointed, not for diehard fan,” wrote one member. Two hardcore Led Zeppelin fans who purchased tickets for the screenings shared their thoughts on the film on the Royal Orleans Led Zeppelin forum. There was even a claim of people walking out of a screening. Out of the surviving members of the band, only Page showed up to the film festival in Venice to promote the film with Robert Plant and John Paul Jones staying home.Ĭritics had a mixed reception to the film, enjoying the storytelling and access to the surviving band members but criticising the film’s length of 2 hours and 17 minutes. Meanwhile, evidence uncovered by LedZepNews shows that the filmmakers had been planning an online promotional campaign for the film since 2019, buying web domain names as well as setting up Facebook, Twitter and Instagram profiles in preparation for its widespread release.īut following the Septempremiere, excitement about the release of “Becoming Led Zeppelin” faded as no sign of its release emerged.

The filmmakers were so confident about the documentary that they also held surprise screenings at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado that month. A promotional campaign had been prepared, with limited edition posters handed out to people who saw the film in its first screening on Septemand in screenings on following days.
