Details of the video were first hinted at back in May 2016 when on Twitter, Bellamy suggested that some upcoming gigs at the time would be filmed for the future.[1] Then a few days later, cinematographer Hans-Peter van Velthoven, officially confirmed that a film was in progress in collaboration with Corrino Studios.[2] On 16 October 2016, a 4:44 video from the film was leaked online by someone who worked on the film of the band performing "Madness", but was later taken down.[3] The band then fell silent on the project for a year, but continued to state the film was still in progress.[4] On 13 April 2018, the movie along with the poster was accidentally listed onto several cinema chain websites.[5]
The film was officially announced on 26 April 2018, with a one-night only cinema release worldwide on 12 July.[6] A home media release has been confirmed and will be released at a later date, though Bellamy suggested on Twitter that it’ll be digital only with no physical release.[7]
Following the credits, the film showed a teaser of a new song that would be released a week later on 19 July 2018. This song turned out to be "Something Human".[8]
