“As Brian Eno said, everybody who bought [Velvet Underground & Nico] started a band,” Haynes noted during his announcement.
Fifty years after the release of Velvet Underground & Nico, one of the most influential rock albums in history, lauded indie director Todd Haynes (Carol, Far From Heaven) has announced he’ll be making his first feature documentary about the band.
Variety also mentions that Haynes is working on another project for Amazon about “an intensely important figure of immense historical and cultural influence.”
It will also be “challenging” given there is so little documentation on the group, the director added.
