Though he hasn't exactly been radio silent – he's produced documentaries and shorts and helped guide a stages musical based on Almost Famous to Broadway – Cameron Crowe has certainly been quieter since the 2015/2016 double-whammy of failure that was Aloha in cinemas and Roadies on TV. But he's back developing a passion project about one of his favourite people: folk icon Joni Mitchell.
According to Above The Line's Jeff Schneider, Crowe has been working with the 79-year-old music legend to craft a film that will be more than a standard biopic.
