Metal, Hardcore, Indie, Rock
In a recent interview with Andy Frasco’s World Saving Podcast, Nancy Wilson, the guitarist for Heart, talked about a potential sequel to the band’s most recent album, “Beautiful Broken” from 2016, as per Blabbermouth.
I go through these phases. Like right now I’m in a phase of really feeling like creating some new songs. And I’ve got songs going on. But I feel like this is the perfect time for Heart — like this year, next year — to make a victory lap out of our legacy. So I figure we need to make one more Heart album. And especially with these players that we have in the lineup right now in this band. We’re just really excited to play together, and there’s no kind of limits on what we could kind of pull off as musicians. So I’ve got a few songs, and Ann’s [Wilson, Heart singer and Nancy’s sister] working with those guys in her side band right now writing other songs. But I think I’m gonna want to make the last Heart album and do the victory lap and make 2027 mainly about the Heart film, the Heart documentary.
Nancy also provided an update on the Heart biopic, which was previously revealed. Lynda Obst, who has produced over 20 films and television series, including “Interstellar,” “Contact,” “Sleepless In Seattle,” “The Fisher King,” and “Flashdance”; Amazon’s “Good Girls Revolt,” TVLand’s “Hot In Cleveland,” SyFy’s “Helix,” and NBC’s miniseries “The ’60s,” is producing the film about the Seattle rock legends. Carrie Brownstein, of Sleater-Kinney and “Portlandia” is writing and directing the film.
We’ve got a big movie, and we’ve got a final draft soon to read that Carrie Brownstein, actually, [is working on] — she did ‘Portlandia’, of Sleater-Kinney fame — she’s a buddy and she’s a good writer too, and we’ve been working mainly with her… And it’s so weird too, ’cause you kind of have to go, well, okay, who would be the actor that plays you?”
Nancy responded as follows when asked which actress she would most want to play her.
For me, I mean, somebody like Elle Fanning. She’s great. Florence Pugh would make an incredible Ann Wilson, I think. I don’t know. It’s just fun to think about anyway.
Nancy had this response when asked if it is “weird” to “think of a victory lap.”
Kind of, but then as the grandchildren start arriving, [it’s] not as crazy to think about doing less of the big rock tour. I mean, it’s entirely exhausting to do that travel. And when you’re not quite as young and rubbery as you always were, going through almost 50 years-ish of doing that, you really get paid for the travel on those rock tours. The show itself is the thrill — the million thrills and the glory and that magic thing — and I would do that for free, and I probably will end up doing music somehow for as long as I can live. But the tour part, it’s really rough on you.
