Beastie Boys Story--Apple TV Plus Documentary Trailer Is A Sure Shot For Fans

Apple TV Plus has released a trailer for Beastie Boys Story, which is coming to the service on April 24 after a run in IMAX theatres from April 2. The documentary, directed by Spike Jonze (Her, Where The Wild Things Are), is a filmed version of a staged presentation given by the two surviving members of the trio, Adam Horovitz (Ad-Rock) and Michael Diamond (Mike D), recounting the history of the band.

The trailer cuts together footage from the talk with old videos and photos from the trio's past, along with snippets from their music videos. You can watch it below.

The songs that play throughout the trailer Sabotage (from 1994's Ill Communication) and I Don't Know (from 1998's Hello Nasty). The trailer promises that the film will explore how the band changed "as people and as friends", and these two tracks capture a sense of the personal change and growth the band experienced.

The film's name, Beastie Boys Story, is keeping in line with the naming convention of Horovitz and Diamond's 2018 book, Beastie Boys Book, which similarly recounted their careers. Adam Yauch (MCA), the third member of the group, passed away in 2012. Horovitz and Diamond no longer perform under the band's name as a result.

The Beastie Boys previously released a single concert film in 2006, titled Awesome, I F***in' Shot That!, which was edited together by Yauch from footage taken by 50 camcorders handed out to filmgoers before the show. It rules.

Apple TV Plus continues to expand with more exclusive offerings. Here's a list of many of their currently announced exclusive shows.
