Roger Waters' 'The Wall' Trailer Takes Pink Floyd Fans to the Show

Former Pink Floyd front man, Roger Waters, makes it crystal clear that he plans to steer away from any and all Floyd reunions but at least fans can look forward to his upcoming film, Roger Waters: The Wall. Although it wont hit theaters until September 29, die-hard Floyd fans can find solace in the first official trailer for the astounding performance.

"Roger Waters: The Wall is a film that unfolds on many levels: an immersive concert experience of the seminal 1979 Pink Floyd album, a road movie of Waters' reckoning with the death of his father in Italy in 1944, and a stirring film that highlights the human cost of armed conflict," a press release notes.

Tickets can be purchased for the event, which also incorporates interviews with Waters and Pink Floyd drummer, Nick Mason, in which the duo will "reunite over the breaking of bread and the answering of questions sent in by fans." The film will see its theatrical run in over 300 U.S. movie theater locations.

"I hope these worldwide screenings will be a good opportunity to remember, not just our fallen loved ones, but all the other guys' fallen loved ones," Waters explained in a statement, notes Entertainment Weekly. "Ashes and diamonds, foe and friend, we were all equal in the end."

During The Wall Live's three-year excursion, over 4 million fans embraced the 219 larger-than-life concerts and magnificent performance that grossed $458.6 million, breaking the highest record for any solo act. The Wall tour originally executed by Pink Floyd only made stops across four cities worldwide in 1980-81.

Ever since the wrap up of The Wall Live tour in September of 2013, Waters has maintained a low key lifestyle although he detailed his upcoming solo album to Rolling Stone. "It's songs and theater as well," he said. "I don't want to give too much away, but it's couched as a radio play. It has characters who speak to each other, and it's a quest. It's about an old man and a young child trying to figure out why they are killing the children."

Unsure if he'll promote his album with a tour, the singer plays back and fourth with the pros and cons of hitting the road. "I'm suffering a little bit of withdrawal after ending the Wall tour," he said. "It's sort of a relief to not have to go out and do that every night, but they're such a great team. There were 180 of us together everyday. That piece was very moving every night."

On July 24, Waters will perform live at the Newport Folk Festival as well as on October 16 when he'll headline the Music Heals benefit concert with the help of Tom Morello, Billy Corgan and Sheryl Crow.
