Listen to the best of KISS on Apple Music and Spotify. According to Deadline, Netflix has emerged as the hot favourite to seal the deal, which aims to do for the louder-than-life New York hard rockers what Queen ’s hugely successful. It was quite a massive undertaking, as evidenced by a nearly hour-long documentary that preceded the performance. Netflix are confident that they’re nearing an agreement with Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons to bring the Kiss story to life in a biopic titled Shout It Out Loud. The livestream of the outdoor performance from the Royal Beach at Atlantis Dubai featured more than 50 cameras in tow and a 360-degree view of the stage. The show was a massive success, featuring one million dollars in pyrotechnics, and an additional $750,000 in COVID precautions. The band is in the midst of its “End of the Road Tour,” which has been slowed by the pandemic, but picks back up in the fall and included a New Year’s Eve concert in Dubai. Atmosphere’s Dorothy Canton and David Hopwood are the executive producers. The film will be produced by Canton through his Atmosphere Entertainment, Leigh Ann Burton through Opus 7, Courtney Solomon, David Blackman, and Jody Gerson through Universal Music Group, Doc McGhee through his McGee Entertainment (he is KISS’ longtime manager), Rønning and KISS’ Simmons and Stanley. Unlike traditional hair metal bands, KISS used heavy makeup and tons of pyrotechnics to stand out. The band’s larger-than-life music will be a big part of the story, but the film will also focus on the duo going back to when they were two trouble-making kids from Queens who formed an unlikely friendship, starting KISS after enlisting guitarist Ace Frehley and drummer Peter Criss. Casting should begin around Thanksgiving, McGhee said. A 10-song trip through the world of a fiery female troop who wear both their passions and their musical influences on their sleeves, Shout It Out Loud boldly demonstrates that the best way to express one’s self is at the top of your lungs, and trumpets the band’s mission to prove just how intensely they mean what they say. Shout It Out Loud will have close cooperation from bandleaders Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. It'll be a theatrical release, then Netflix.' McGhee also noted that the film, titled Shout It Out Loud, is being produced by Mark Canton. The film will be a co-production of Mark Canton’s Atmosphere Entertainment and Universal Music Group. Netflix is near a deal for Shout It Out Loud, a film package that aims to contextualize the iconic hard rock band KISS in the same way Bohemian Rhapsody did for Queen.Īccording to Deadline, Netflix is tying up a deal after a bidding battle for a film that will be directed by Joachim Rønning, the Norwegian filmmaker whose credits include Kon-Tiki, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
