Filming Has Started For Official RONNIE JAMES DIO Documentary

Wendy Dio, wife and longtime manager of Ronnie James Dio, plans to produce a documentary that will cover Dio‘s career from his early days with ELF to his final project, HEAVEN & HELL.

“We just started shooting,” she said (hear audio below). “We did interviews last week — a few with me, with some technical people, with Geezer Butler [of BLACK SABBATH and HEAVEN & HELL] — and we will continue that in between the [‘Dio Returns’ hologram] tour, we’ll continue on with that. And then, hopefully, that should be out by next year — probably latter part of next year.

“We started with Geezer Butler, who’s obviously Ronnie‘s best friend from BLACK SABBATH,” she continued. “And I think we’ll probably do some of the [DIO] band while we are on tour. And other people — all the people close to Ronnie, people that played with Ronnie or were influenced by Ronnie and also his childhood years and going all the way through his time with ELF, with RAINBOW, with BLACK SABBATH. And I have so much footage — stuff that people have never seen. I’ve got some Super 8 stuff. I found a whole huge box of stuff — stuff from his childhood, stuff from the RAINBOW days, behind-the-scenes stuff. I’m getting it now transferred, so that we can actually view it.
