Frank Marshall, the director behind documentaries about icons like The Beach Boys, Bee Gees, Carole King and James Taylor, is putting together the first fully authorized documentary about Fleetwood Mac.

“I am fascinated by how this incredible story of enormous musical achievement came about,” Marshall told Deadline. “Fleetwood Mac somehow managed to merge their often chaotic and almost operatic personal lives into their own tale in real time, which then became legend. This will be a film about the music and the people who created it.”

The film, which has yet to be titled, will feature interviews from the band's surviving members Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, as well as archival footage from Christine McVie, who passed away in 2022. It will explore the group's beginnings in the mid-70s, rise to fame, and 50-plus year roller coaster of success and personal struggles. (Just weeks ago, Nicks said “I dealt with Lindsey for as long as I could. You could not say that I did not give him more than 300 million chances," in an interview.)

Although this is the first project authorized by the band, their legacy has inspired pieces of fiction like the 2019 novel Daisy Jones and the Six. The book was famously turned into a television miniseries in 2023, which Nicks admitted made her "emotional."
