TOM PETTY - PETTY ENTHUSED BY ROCKUMENTARY

LATEST: Rocker TOM PETTY can't wait for fans to see the documentary PETER BOGDANOVICH is shooting of him and his band on tour. THE LAST PICTURE SHOW director is following TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS as they tour America with PEARL JAM this summer (06) to shoot footage for an on-the-road documentary. Despite the intrusion of sharing his life with a camera crew - Petty insists the project is worthwhile and footage shot so far suggests it will be a hit. He says, "I think it's a worthwhile project, and I think it's good that he's finally going to tell this story completely. He's put a lot of effort into it so far. "Sometimes giving up your privacy is a little like going to the dentist, and we have let him have access that no one's ever had. So far it's looking good. We're all pretty excited about it. I think he's going to make a good movie."
