The limited distribution of the documentary “Can’t Stand Losing You: Surviving The Police”, the movie based on Andy Summers’ memoir, “One Train Later,” will be making its Denver-area debut today at the AMC Westminster Promenade 24 and the AMC Cherry Creek 8 in the Cherry Creek mall.
The feature-length film features Summers, Sting and Stewart Copeland, and tells of the band’s meteoric rise, headline-grabbing break-up, and reunion 20 years later, through rare archival footage and Summers’ personal collection of photographs.
Directed and edited by Andy Grieve, the film tells of Summers’ musical journey from his early days in the London music scene to his chance encounter with drummer Copeland and bassist Sting and the formation of the neo-punk trio The Police in 1977. From struggling musician to international ‘Rock God’ in two years, Summers’ camera captured the rollercoaster ride to fame and the Faustian trade-off between unprecedented success in the MTV era with love and creative freedom. The film starts as Summers’ prepares for the band’s highly anticipated 2007 reunion tour recalling the 1983 Shea Stadium concert that marked the end.
The film will be released on DVD, Blu-ray, and On Demand platforms starting in July preceding a television broadcast.
The Police are considered one of the top 80s rock bands and have won six Grammys, two Brit Awards, an MTV Video Music Award, and were inducted into the Rock ‘N Roll Hall of Fame. Four of their five studio albums appeared on Rolling Stone’s list of Greatest Albums of All Time. Their final studio album, Synchronicity, topped the American charts for 17 weeks and was number one in both the UK and the US, and sold over 8 million copies in the US alone. They have sold over 75 million records, making them one of the world’s best-selling artists of all time.
The band reunited in 2007 for a world tour that covered the globe and continued into August 2008. The success of the tour made them the world’s highest-earning musicians in 2008 and eighth top grossing tour of all time.
