Which 2013 Metallica concert film stars Dane DeHaan as Trip?

The 2013 Metallica concert film starring Dane DeHaan as Trip is Metallica: Through the Never.

Directed by Nimród Antal, Metallica: Through the Never combines large-scale concert footage with a surreal fictional story. DeHaan plays Trip, a young Metallica roadie sent on an urgent mission while the band performs. His journey unfolds through deserted streets, riots, violence, and strange figures, creating a dark narrative that is intercut with the concert rather than presented as a conventional backstage documentary.

The concert sequences were filmed in Vancouver and Edmonton in August 2012. The movie’s title comes from “Through the Never,” a song on Metallica’s 1991 self-titled album, commonly known as The Black Album. Metallica members James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo appear as themselves.

The film premiered at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival and opened in IMAX theaters in the United States on September 27, 2013. It is sometimes confused with Some Kind of Monster, the 2004 documentary about the band’s internal tensions and recording process. Through the Never is instead a hybrid concert film with a fictional, largely dialogue-free storyline.
