Supersonic director Mat Whitecross has spoken about his desire to make a documentary about a potential Oasis reunion. Supersonic is out now on Blu-ray, DVD and digital download and has been a massive hit since its release.
Speaking to NME last week, Whitecross said of the possibility of making a sequel to the film: โItโs something Liam has said off the cuff. I remember when he came in for the interviews, he was joking and said โWhy we stopping here? Iโm enjoying it lets keep going!โ If they were up for it I would love thatโฆ As a lifelong fan I feel thereโs definitely another film in there. If they were up for it, Iโd be up for it.โ
Whitecross went on to say that heโd particularly like to document an Oasis reunion, should it ever happen in the future. โThat would be a dream of mine. I assumed that was what it was about when I was approached [for the Supersonic film] in the first place. My heart started racing, I was thinking โMaybe theyโre getting back together, maybe they want to go on tourโ.โ
โI know theyโve worked with other people in the past, I think theyโll be a long line of directors who would be involved in that, if it ever happened. If they wanted me in any project Iโd be there in a heartbeat.โ
Asked about the possibility of the band actually getting back together, Whitecross replied: โMy guess is as good as anyone elseโsโฆ Maybe in the future. Liam and Noel have both got their albums [coming out], and theyโre going to be busy with that for about a year and half, two years.โ
โI think if anything weโve thrown a hand grenade into a vent, which was certainly the intention. As much as everyone else, Iโd love to see them back on stageโฆ [but] itโs like their mum says in the film, you just have to let them get on with it.โ
Elsewhere in the interview, Whitecross also spoke about Liam Gallagherโs upcoming solo album, describing it as โepicโ and sounding like the Velvet Underground. He also said heโd want to work with The Smiths and Arctic Monkeys on future films.
