\n\tNearly a decade after Linkin Park<\/a>\u2018s world changed forever, the band is telling its comeback story on the big screen.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Tuesday (Aug. 4), the rock group announced that Unshatter \u2014 a new documentary directed by band member Joe Hahn \u2014 will arrive in theaters worldwide starting Sept. 30. The film follows Linkin Park\u2019s journey as the band roughly navigated their comeback after a seven-year hiatus, chronicling the period leading up to the release of the 2024 album From Zero and their performance in S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs one of the defining rock bands of the 21st century, Linkin Park amassed multiple No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200<\/a> and placed dozens of songs on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a>. According to the announcement, Unshatter combines behind-the-scenes footage, live performances, archival clips and new interviews with the band\u2019s members and fans. The film will be an intimate look into the group\u2019s creative process and what it was like following the 2017 death of vocalist Chester Bennington<\/a>. The documentary also explores the addition of vocalist Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain, whose arrival signaled the beginning of Linkin Park\u2019s most recent career moves.<\/p>\n

\n\tAhead of the film\u2019s theatrical debut, the band will release Unshatter Film Soundtrack (Live in S\u00e3o Paulo) on Sept. 25. The live album will feature performances spanning Linkin Park\u2019s discography, including songs not featured in the documentary. Fans can already hear the live version of \u201cSomewhere I Belong,\u201d with pre-orders for the soundtrack available now.<\/p>\n

\n\tHahn, who directed the film, said the project evolved organically after cameras were initially brought in to document the band\u2019s S\u00e3o Paulo concert.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhat started as filming one show slowly became something much bigger,\u201d Hahn said in a statement. \u201cWe kept realizing there was a story unfolding in real time as we figured out what the future of Linkin Park would look like.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe filmmaker explained that he wanted the documentary to showcase the uncertainty the band experienced during its comeback rather than tell the story with the benefit of hindsight. Having lived through the events as both a bandmate and director, Hahn said the goal was to present an honest account of the conversations, challenges and creative breakthroughs that influenced the band\u2019s return.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe also described the film as a tribute to Linkin Park\u2019s fans, saying he hopes longtime supporters will gain a deeper understanding of the band\u2019s hardships while introducing new audiences to the group\u2019s progression.<\/p>\n

\n\tUnshatter begins its limited theatrical run on Sept. 30, with additional screenings expanding to select cities worldwide following the release.
