“We are excited to be partnering with BMG and Wendy Dio to present \u2018DIO: Dreamers Never Die\u2019 in cinemas worldwide,\u201d said Kymberli Frueh, SVP for Programming and Content Acquisitions for Trafalgar Releasing. \u201cRonnie James Dio has and continues to influence the heavy metal movement. This cinema event will take fans on a big screen journey into the creative and personal life of this notable frontman.\u201d

Ronnie James Dio, who died of gastric cancer in 2010, reigns as one of the most influential rock artists of all time and one of the greatest vocalists ever. With an illustrious recording career spanning from the 1950\u2019s through to the 2000\u2019s, the documentary follows his trajectory from sideman into singer, songwriter and frontman of not one, but three, of rock\u2019s internationally-renowned, multi-Platinum-selling arena attractions: Rainbow, Black Sabbath and DIO. Famous for popularizing the \u2018devil horns\u2019 hand gesture that is now synonymous with hard rock and heavy metal music, Dio was known for not wavering in his pursuit of his rock and roll dreams and continues to influence a new generation of music artists.\u00a0 His fans the world over remember him not only for his massive talent, but for his kindness, resulting in millions of dollars raised for cancer research in his memory.\u00a0\u00a0

\u201cDIO: Dreamers Never Die\u201d was financed solely by BMG and was directed by\u00a0Don Argott\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Demian Fenton<\/strong>\u00a0(Framing John DeLorean, Believer, Last Days Here), produced by Don Argott and\u00a0Sheena Joyce<\/strong>\u00a0for 9.14 Pictures, and executive produced by\u00a0Wendy Dio<\/strong>\u00a0for Niji Productions and\u00a0Kathy Rivkin Daum<\/strong>\u00a0for BMG.

Argott and Fenton said, “People who have conviction, talent and heart like Ronnie James Dio are in short supply these days. It is refreshing to share his inspiring story of believing in yourself and chasing your dreams. As life-long DIO fans, it is incredibly humbling to bring Ronnie\u2019s journey to the screen and we can\u2019t wait to share it with audiences.”

Rhino\/WMG will release the soundtrack from \u201cDIO: Dreamers Never Die\u201d in the fall.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
