The Tom Petty Movie -- marathon version
Runnin' Down a Dream, the David Bogdanovich documentary about Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, is being screened at select theaters next week.
The trailer -- featuring Eddie Vedder, Rick Rubin, Stevie Nicks, The Travelling Wilburys, Dave Grohl, Bob Dylan and Johnny Depp -- looks good.
If you live in Greensboro the closest showings are in DC and TN -- but the movie will be released Oct. 16 as part of a box set that includes three DVDs and one CD. Rare concert footage, interviews, all that good stuff. It's a Best Buy exclusive and, at $25.00 seems like a deal to me.
But here's the thing -- the film is apparently a butt-numbing FOUR HOURS LONG.
I love Tom Petty but come on, man -- don't do me like that.
I may have to watch it in installments, like a mini-series. But I can enjoy the coffee table book now.

That's Peter Bogdanovich, not 'David.'
Movie looks good, though.
