Enchanted!, which premiered in New York in 2022.Perry explained to the New Yorker at the time that the band’s label, Matador Records, reached out to him about a film collaboration in 2019.

The unorthodox project was set to combine elements of biopic, tour documentary, footage from the musical and its creation, and more.Speaking to Vanity Fair ahead of the film’s premiere, Perry gave more of an insight into what fans could expect, adding: “You’re only going to get to make one Pavement movie.

This isn’t Scorsese getting to make his fourth and fifth Dylan film. So why don’t I just make every Pavement movie that I, as a fan, would ever want to watch — or hate-watch.”In the clip, viewers see footage of a young Pavement complete with a voiceover from Stephen Malkmus.
