Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee (photo) will be teaming up with award-winning filmmaker Bruce Sinofsky, director of the documentary \"Metallica: Some Kind of Monster\".\"I had to do this. Everybody wants to be liked or admired. And when people only know you from tabloid snippets that have piled up over the years, you want to set everyone straight.\"
Unlike with his appearance on NBC\'s unscripted series \"Tommy Lee Goes to College\", or publishing his bestselling 2004 autobiography, \"Tommyland\", Lee views the documentary as the best way to put the real Tommy Lee on display:
\"Doing the show, to me, that\'s not real — it\'s a little slice of who you are. There\'s so much more that\'s going on in my life that isn\'t suitable for prime-time network TV.\"
While Bruce Sinofsky and Tommy Lee have yet to decide upon a narrative arc, the drummer is scheduled to perform as a guest DJ while doing advance promotion for the as-yet-untitled film the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
As previously mentioned on Drummerszone.com, the Sundance Film Festival will also see the premiere of \"Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out,\" a film by Stewart Copeland about his time as drummer in mega successful rock act The Police.
