Nick Cave is set to play up to the much mythologised nature of his existence in a new documentary called 20,000 Days on Earth.
The feature-length film, directed by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, will focus around a single 24 hour period of the Bad Seeds singer’s life, with staged but unscripted scenes.
The mock-doc will see Cave drive around with Kylie Minogue, hang out with Ray Winstone, go for lunch with Warren Ellis and watch the movie Scarface with his children.
The film will get a 2014 cinematic release.
