- It will be called Untitled: The Bootleg Cut and have key artwork that will look like a bootleg record.
- It will have both versions of the film.
- A Stillwater CD will also be included!

Crowe Spins Pearl Jam Yarns
Comments Off
The latest issue of Spin Magazine celebrates 10 years of Seattle band Pearl Jam. There are many recollections from everyone in the “Pearl Jam Family” including Cameron and Nancy Wilson. Cameron’s bits can be read here, but here’s my favorite:
“Pearl Jam would get together in a circle before they went onstage and Eddie pulled me into the circle before one of their Lollapalooza shows. I put that in [my 2000 film] Almost Famous, even though it actually happened 20 years later.”
