The trailer for the David Bowie documentary Moonage Daydream has been released today ahead of the film’s premiere at the Cannes Film Festival tonight. Directed by Brett Morgen, the documentary described as “an immersive cinematic experience” was put together with the full cooperation of Bowie’s estate.
Moonage Daydream includes never-before-seen footage, performances and music with the late musician’s voice providing the narration as per Variety’s report. The film arrives in theaters this September and airs on HBO and HBO Max next spring.
Brett Morgen, who previously helmed Kurt Cobain: Montage Of Heck and the Jane Goodall documentary Jane, spent years sorting through over 500 assets from the David Bowie archive for Moonage Daydream. Included in the film are portions of more than 40 remastered songs from throughout Bowie’s career.
“Bowie cannot be defined, he can be experienced,” Morgen explained of the film at the CinemaCon event last month as per Variety. “That is why we crafted ‘Moonage Daydream,’ to be a unique cinematic experience.”
The trailer features rare footage and a voiceover from Bowie. Check it out below:
