Paramount+ will release a remastered version of Cameron Crowe’s 1983 documentary ‘Tom Petty: Heartbreakers Beach Party’ on March 11.
The newly restored version of the film includes a new intro from Crowe, along with 20 minutes of previously unreleased footage, live performances, and footage of Petty and the band.
The film captures Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers as they finish, promote, and tour the ‘Long After Dark’ album, their third and final project with producer Jimmy Iovine.
The original film aired on MTV in 1983, but was deemed too experimental and abruptly pulled from the air.
Crowe expressed his fondness for the film, stating, “Heartbreakers Beach Party occupies a special place in my heart… The fact that the original film was yanked from MTV after only one airing shows that it was, and still is, an outlandish feast for fans in the best ways.”
