CBGB Film Finishes Shooting; Release Planned for 2013 | Movies News | Rolling Stone
Relics from New York City's bygone CBGB club – including "Smithsonian-quality pieces" like its bar, the phone booth, chunks of the walls and those stained toilets, all pulled from storage – will reunite on the big screen next year in CBGB, which indie filmmakers confirmed they finished shooting in August.
Forty years after CBGB opened its doors on the city's Lower East Side, writer Jody Savin and director Randall Miller of Unclaimed Freight Productions tell Rolling Stone they are now editing the 100-minute feature. It tells the story of how the late Hilly Kristal offered his club's cramped stage to bands playing original songs, which attracted groups like the Ramones, the Patti Smith Group and Talking Heads. In 1974 Television became the first act to play CBGB, and the band gigged there every Sunday for years before recording their album Marquee Moon. The club closed in 2006
