Directed by Jonathan Demme, the movie was originally released in 1984 and featured performances of notable Talking Heads songs such as “Psycho Killer,” “Burning Down the House,” “This Must Be the Place,” and more.
A24 acquired the worldwide distribution rights to Stop Making Sense in March 2023. A restored version of the concert film was released in theaters and IMAX in September 2023.
On January 10, 2024, A24 also announced a Stop Making Sense tribute album will be released later this year. The album will see 16 different artists perform covers of the Stop Making Sense setlist. So far, Paramore, who will perform “Burning Down the House,” is the only band that has been announced to be part of the album.
