Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern, the directors behind the upcoming Disney+ documentary \u201cOasis: Don\u2019t Look Back in Anger,\u201d revealed that the long-awaited reconciliation between Oasis brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher was marked by professional focus rather than emotional displays.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Variety ahead of the film\u2019s world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, the filmmakers described capturing the band\u2019s historic reunion rehearsals in early 2025. Rather than intervening during the siblings’ first prolonged time together in 15 years, Lovelace and Southern set up remote camera rigs and observed from a nearby cabin, avoiding what they termed a \u201cmediated\u201d feel.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the Gallaghers, it\u2019s not \u2018Dawson\u2019s Creek.\u2019 They\u2019re not gonna sit down and talk about their emotions,\u201d Southern explained. He noted that the process was \u201cworkmanlike,\u201d with the brothers immediately diving into polished renditions of hits like \u201cWonderwall\u201d and \u201cChampagne Supernova\u201d without sentimental preamble.<\/p>\n
Lovelace described the atmosphere as one of \u201cserious business,\u201d aimed at delivering what he called the biggest rock and roll comeback in history. The directors emphasized that despite speculation about financial motives, the brothers felt a heavy responsibility to their fans, striving to ensure the performances were of the highest caliber.<\/p>\n
Tension between the siblings reportedly persisted until the band took the stage for their first comeback show in Cardiff. \u201cThat was a real moment of alchemy,\u201d Lovelace said, noting that the shared energy with the crowd created a powerful, unifying experience.<\/p>\n
To capture the global tour, the production enlisted acclaimed cinematographers including Haris Zambarloukos, Lol Crawley, and James Laxton. Southern instructed the crew to prioritize narrative and crowd reactions over technical perfection, aiming for immersive footage that reflected the fans\u2019 need for release.<\/p>\n
The documentary, which will be released in IMAX, seeks to recreate the atmosphere of the 2025 tour. When asked about potential merchandising opportunities, Southern jokingly suggested that cinemas are missing out if they do not offer popcorn buckets shaped like the iconic bucket hats worn by fans during the era.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
