The Stranglers - Whatever Happened To...The Movie

Several years ago David Boni, an English director who is a Stranglers fan, embarked on a documentary project on the group.
It even had a premiere at the Ritzy Cinema, Brixton on April 12, 2019.
Sadly, it hasn't been seen since.... It's either down in the sewer or the men in black have wiped it!

As a Stranglers fan since 1977, it is not just a case of "Oh! I would love to see this film", it is more a case of "Bloody hell, I have GOT to see this film released on dvd, right now".

[@ChrisBalden-gr7ps]

The biggest influence on my life. The meeting with jet in 83 trying to get an article into the Ygorra magazine in Glasgow. Only having it rejected cos who it was. The mad idea of eat meet and greet JJ and Baz. The brilliant gigs at the apollo. A band that captured me . Oh let this film be done

[@michaelbyrne5321]

Apparently the band are close to agreeing it's release, with Hugh's blessing .. so watch this space!!!

[@f3lixtube]

Lets hope that's true

@@f3lixtubehope Paul Roberts gets a decent mention

[@f3lixtube]

​@@jasmineblack9778 According to the review on the French blog site: The years with John Ellis and Paul Roberts were also covered, but with John and Paul also declining the offer of an interview, we didn't get their side of the story

[@imogenimeson664]

Yeah not before time, just what is Hugh's beef after all this time i've completely lost all respect for him I wouldn't go to see any of his solo shows even if I was paid!. It's just incredibly sad fans have died without seeing 'the movie' and of course Jet & Dave are no longer around either. Hugh can go to hell.

[@lazarus62]

Good to see some of this film at long last. More please.

[@katoness]

Ah man, I need to see this. Please let in be released!!

[@shshah]

Nice to see a few minutes of it. More than 5.

[@Rockstardust69]

Please release this!

[@retrojet]

I have high hope Hugh helps it happen....

[@jasmineblack9778]

Should be a 100 disc bluray boxset

[@f3lixtube]

I'll settle for one disc 😂

[@garyoshea2171]

Love it!

[@stevecann8948]

Sent £50 for a copy of this movie did not receive been mugged off

[@Michelle-yw1lv]

That's fucked up ! 🤬

[@Rugmunchersauce3]

Should have come to me. I would have only mugged you off for 40 quid! (Only joking. That's rough.)

Appetiser! x

[@MrDesmonick]

​@ToilerOnTheSea if it makes a decent film then it could work? Only David knows what's best 👍

[@infeedel7706]

Has Hugh been putting a stop on it and if so, why? I'd love to see it.

[@paolozak3014]

don’t make it a self-indulgent cheapo though

[@nickwood3458]

Should be ...... " what ever happened to my £50 I paid for this "

[@niklavithi]

And mine

[@michaelbyrne5321]

NOOOOOO thanks! Besides, they're very big now ..

[@garybridge-ku7bf]

Not really bothered about this, know all the stories over and over again.
