Official Trailer for 'Mr. Jimmy' Documentary About Japan's Jimmy Page

"I just have to keep going down this road..." Abramorama has revealed an official trailer for a documentary film titled Mr. Jimmy, landing in theaters worldwide at the beginning of September. This is finally getting a proper release after first premiering at the 2019 SXSW Film Festival four years ago. Japanese rocker Akio Sakurai has dedicated his life to Jimmy Page. For 30 years he recreated vintage Zeppelin concerts note-for-note in small Tokyo clubs, adopting the guitar chops and persona of Jimmy Page. Moving to L.A. to pursue his tribute dream, cultures clash and Akio's idyllic vision meets reality. Produced, directed, edited by Peter Michael Dowd who spent nearly 8 years and countless trips to Japan bringing Mr Jimmy’s story to life. With the approval of Led Zeppelin, the film features 30 of their songs as performed by Akio Sakurai. The film additionally includes Mr. Page's songwriting before Led Zeppelin, with the Yardbird's "White Summer," and also The Firm's "Midnight Moonlight," both performed by Sakurai. Surrounding these extraordinary Page & Zeppelin tracks is a bevy of blues and rock n' roll recordings by legendary artists including Eddie Cochran, Elvis Presley, Jimmy Reed, Muddy Waters, Otis Rush.
