Directed by Frank Marshall, the Apple Original Films and Apple TV+ film will chronicle the legendary group's "extraordinary story" in their own words. Referencing their 1977 album 'Rumours', they announced on social media: 'Dreams' hitmakers announced on social media: “It’s not a Rumour. From director Frank Marshall, this Apple Original Films documentary will take you on the epic journey of the generation-defining Fleetwood Mac.
” The synopsis reads: “The film will explore how the band’s trials and tribulations, personal resilience, and musical dexterity combined to create songs that have stood the test of time and are enduring masterpieces. It will take fans through the highs and lows of their brilliant career, illuminating the exceptional ingredients each member brought to the band’s uncommon alchemy — a musical union that sold more than 220 million records worldwide.” Apple said: “The documentary will explore what allowed this combination of artists to create singular musical work again and again, and what drew them back together and held them there when every possible pressure, both outside and inside the band, threatened to blow them apart.
” As well as new interviews with the group's surviving members - Stevie Nicks, 76, Mick Fleetwood, 77, John McVie, 78, and 75-year-old former guitarist Lindsey Buckingham.
