by Ciaran Thompson

Jim Jarmusch has revealed in a recent interview with Pitchfork he is currently working on a new documentary about The Stooges with the blessing of the godfather of punk himself.

“It’s going to take a few years,” Jarmusch said. “There’s no rush on it, but it’s something that Iggy asked me to do.”

Jarmusch’s past film credits include Down by Law, which starred musicians Tom Waits and John Lurie, Mystery Train, Night on Earth, Dead Man and Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai.

The reformed Stooges are currently on the tail end of their North American tour with the last gig set to take place in Monticello, New York on September 3.
