The film will be coming to select theatres in mid-November (dates are listed below), and will also be available in a collector&#8217;s edition Blu-ray + DVD package.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;High Times is pleased to finally uncover and restore this extraordinary, vintage film &#8211; D.O.A.,&#8221;<\/em> said\u00a0<em>High Times<\/em>\u00a0owner and CEO Adam Levin.<\/p>\n<p>The vision for the film can be attributed to two people: Tom Forcade (the founder of <em>High Times<\/em> magazine) and filmmaker Lech Kowalski (<em>East of Paradise<\/em>). The production centered around the Sex Pistols 1978 tour of the US, which ended with the group breaking up. Forcade and Kowalski followed the band with handheld cameras through the clubs and bars during their seven-city U.S. tour.<\/p>\n<p>Mixing this with footage of other contemporary bands, trends in the fashion capitals and punks of all shapes and colors, the film makers captured a grainy, stained snapshot of the punk movement at its peak (which includes the now famous footage of Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen in bed) along with rare interview and concert footage of the late seventies punk rock music scene.
