TORONTO – In advance of the world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, CraveTV said Friday that it has exclusively acquired the new feature film The Rolling Stones Olé Olé Olé!: A Trip Across Latin America, which follows The Rolling Stones’ early 2016 tour through 10 Latin American cities, including their stop in Havana.
CraveTV will be the exclusive first-window home in Canada for the feature-length film that will launch October 14 in the service’s ‘Music Collection’. As part of the deal, CraveTV also acquired the Stones’ companion concert film, The Rolling Stones Havana Moon, a concert special from the Havana show.
Bell Media confirmed that following their play on CraveTV, the specials will premiere on pay service The Movie Network and specialty channels Bravo! and MUCH, before their Canadian broadcast premieres on CTV.
“Bringing The Rolling Stones to Bell Media’s networks fits perfectly with our aim of delivering exclusive, must-watch music themed programming to Canadians across multiple platforms,” said Bell Media’s president of broadcasting and content Randy Lennox, in the news release. “We are excited to welcome Mick, Keith, Charlie, and Ronnie to Bell Media and Canada.”
Directed by Paul Dugdale, produced by Sam Bridger and shot throughout February and March 2016, the film is produced by JA Digital in co-production with Eagle Rock Films for Eagle Rock Entertainment and Promotone.
