Movie the prodigy
Pulse Films’ Thomas Benski, Marisa Clifford and Sam Bridger will produce alongside Howlett, Maxim and band co-manager John Fairs in the role of executive producer. This film will be made with the same integrity that our music: uncompromising, raw and honest. “Or simply, a story of brothers on a mission to make noise, to ignite the people’s soul and blow-up sound systems worldwide, that’s fucking what. “It’s a story of the chaotic and troubled journey of our gang, our band, the people’s band, The Prodigy,” they added. “After the devastating passing of our brother Keef in 2019, the time feels right for us to tell the story of our band, all of it, the whole nine,” the two said.

Howlett and Maxim said that the film - which will combine archive footage, animation and first-hand testimonies - was dedicated to their late friend. Success, international fame, fortune, addiction, fighting and chaos would almost tear the band apart, but The Prodigy stayed together and continued writing music and touring until the tragic death of their iconic wild-haired frontman Keith Flint in 2019. Singles such as “Firestarter” and “Breathe” - taken from their third album, 1997’s The Fat of the Land, which hit the top spot in the Billboard 200 - would help push them into the mainstream and give them a huge global audience. The Prodigy would become one of the biggest British bands of the 1990s, selling an estimated 30 million records worldwide.
