A documentary was planned for the Stone Roses' reunion, with film director Shane Meadows chosen to film it. [98] The documentary, titled The Stone Roses: Made of Stone, received its world premiere at Trafford Park in Manchester on 30 May 2013 and was simultaneously broadcast live in many cinemas across the United Kingdom. It had its general release on 5 June 2013. [99] [100] During the band's time in the public eye, their relationship with the mass media was notably different from other bands before and after.
