With a star-studded line-up boasting names like Guns N’ Roses , KoRn , Tool , Slayer , Pantera , Metallica , Alice In Chains , Gojira , Anthrax , and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler the gig would go on to become the highest-grossing charity concert of all time, bringing in a huge sum of around £11million for good causes.

It saw founding members Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler , Tony Iommi and Bill Ward perform together for the first time in two decades, and now, it is set to arrive in cinemas later this year.

With a run time of 100 minutes, and described in a press release as “a love letter to Ozzy and the pioneering sound of Black Sabbath”, the film was announced by Trafalgar Releasing last year and will be produced by Mercury Studios.

It will arrive in cinemas from October 28.

Described as a “celebration of Black Sabbath’s enduring legacy”, it will feature professionally captured footage of the triumphant final show, along with personal reflections from the musicians involved, and a behind the scenes look at the day itself. ‘Back To The Beginning’ cinema release poster.

“‘Back to the Beginning’ came about because I asked Ozzy what would really make him happy,” said Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy Osbourne’s wife and manager who oversaw the event.

“And he said the only thing that would make him happy was if he could perform again and say goodbye to his fans.

That’s all he wanted to do.

He wanted to say goodbye and thank you.” The film is directed for screen by Ben Wainwright-Pearce ( Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, George Michael: The Faith Tour ), and the live concert was directed by Tim van Someren.

Mercury Studios co-leads, Ken Danquah and Andrea Dunn, said in a joint statement: “Ozzy Osbourne is one of the most influential figures in music history, and his final performance with Black Sabbath deserves to be seen on the biggest possible stage.” “Last year, we brought this legendary concert to fans across the globe, offering millions the chance to be there through an unprecedented livestream.

This film is the next chapter, giving fans a new way to experience that night on the big screen,” they added.
