Pearl Jam

According to Billboard Magazine, director, Cameron Crowe and Pearl Jam are teaming up on an upcoming film/biopic.

Pearl Jam and Cameron Crowe and first worked together on  the film Singles (1992),starring  Bridget Fonda, Campbell Scott, Kyra Sedgwick and  Matt Dillon in which Jeff Ament and PJ lead singer  Eddie Vedder also appeared.

This new project, may be a compilation of pre-existing Pearl Jam footage, was revealed last month on Seattle’s “Don and Ron” radio show by guitarist Mike McCready.

PJ Band member McCready says:

“We’re building up to our big 20th anniversary. We’re trying to have a little campaign of building rereleases with new mixes and new outtakes up until that time and we’re also trying to do a movie with Cameron Crowe with all of our footage.”

Pearl Jam is currently working on a new album due out later this year and they are scheduled to headline the Outside Lands Festival, August 28-30, 2009 in San Francisco.

To get your ‘grunge on’, here’s a great live video of Pearl Jam performing  one of my favorites, Black.
