It’s So Easy and Other Lies, the authorized biography of Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan, has been picked up by Vision Films. The documentary from writer/director Christopher Duddy is based on the New York Times bestseller and was produced by McKagan, Duddy, and Steven G. Kaplan.
Shooting on the documentary began in March during one of Duff’s book readings and also shot during Duff’s performances. It’s So Easy and Other Lies is also set to include “rare archive footage from Marc Canter, who filmed all the early footage of Guns N’ Roses behind the scenes and performances, as well as an ultimate collector’s soundtrack for the fans.”
Announcing the acquisition, Lise Romanoff, Managing Director and CEO of Worldwide Distribution, stated: “Vision Films is excited to begin sales of It’s So Easy and Other Lies. The title is a one-of-a-kind look into one of the most iconic bands in Rock History.”
The Plot: This authorized biographical documentary takes the audience on an incredible cinematic journey through the unbelievable rise of a driven teenager’s meager beginnings on the streets of Seattle, to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The man is Michael McKagan, better known to the world as “Duff.” The band is Guns N’ Roses. The band became the ultimate icons of sex, drugs and rock and roll, causing pandemonium in their wake, but the lifestyle caught up with Duff, leaving him close to death.
Follow Duff’s journey through original archival footage and interviews with many of the people who took this wild ride, including a constellation of rock stars that rose to fame alongside him, and the people who inspired him to overcome his addictions.
