The Future Is Unwritten

• 23rd Apr 2007

Joe Strummer changed people’s lives forever. As the front man of the Clash from 1977 onwards, he was and continues to be a musical icon. As a political activist, Strummer was never shy about saying what was on his mind and meaning it. He was a voice of a generation, which still resonates today.

The Future Is Unwritten : Joe Strummer will be released on May 18th in UK & Ireland and contains never seen before footage of Joe Strummer including studio sessions, archive and early childhood footage, interviews with Strummer disciples such as Martin Scorsese, Bono, members of Red Hot Chilli Peppers, friends new and old. Also containing candid interview with Mick Jones, Topper Headon and other members of Joe’s musical career.

Drawing on both a shared punk history and the close personal friendship that developed over the last years of Joe’s life, Julien Temple’s film is a celebration of Joe – before, during and after the Clash.

The soundtrack is released by Sony BMG on 7th May and includes unreleased Clash material, tracks from Joe’s other projects from The 101ers to The Mescaleros, plus the music that influenced him from reggae, to rock & roll to world music.
