Industry sources report that legendary documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles is working on a film about … Fall Out Boy.
“Albert came along and was like, ‘I’m really interested in doing something with your band,’ and we did the thing, like, when you’re in high school and the hot girl talks to you, and you sort of look behind you and go, ‘Who, us?’” bassist / lyricist / Ashlee Simpson boy toy Pete Wentz told MTV.
“This guy could document pretty much anything, and he wanted to do something with us. That’s what blew our minds more than anything.”

Maysles filmed five dates of Fall Out Boy’s Young Wild Things tour and then plans on documenting the next year of the band’s career - the recording process of their follow-up album to Infinity On High included. Pete Wentz is unsure of the documentary’s outcome, but is enthused about the process.
“I’m really excited about it, whatever happens, because I think most bands just film a bunch of crap for ‘the official DVD,’ and those are always kind of cheesy,” Wentz, the de facto head of Fall Out Boy, said. “We’d like to have it submitted to some festivals, maybe release it as a proper, real DVD in the fall. All I know is, I can look forward to having Albert and his crew sleeping on my couch.”
