The Cure frontman Robert Smith has revealed the band is working on a DVD documentary to commemorate the 30th anniversary of its debut album, Three Imaginary Boys.

"This will include interviews with everybody who has ever been in the band, and everybody who has been an important part of the Cure," Smith told Billboard.com.

The yet untitled project is two years away and Smith says he still has to secure the services of Tim Pope, a longtime Cure video director.

"We've kept in touch and he's done some things with us since. People will react to him very well in an interview scenario."

As well, Smith says besides the documentary, the band's website will feature additional archival footage.

"We're planning on an hour per decade, but there's at least 20 hours per decade on videotape and other weird formats."

Known for its gloomy and introspective songs, the Cure crept onto the world scene as part of the post-punk wave during the late 1970s. Smith's brooding style, crazy hair and tormented nature fostered the band's alternative status.

By the 1980s, the Cure hit its pop stride hitting the Billboard Top 40 with songs such as Just Like Heaven, Lovesong and Friday I'm in Love.

The band — which includes Porl Thompson on guitar, Simon Gallup on bass and Jason Cooper on drums — is working on a new album, a double-disc set, as well as expanded reissues of the vintage Cure albums Disintegration and Wish.

A North American tour beginning on Sept. 16, begins in Tampa, Fla., and will bring the Cure to Montreal and Toronto.
