Brett Morgen, the filmmaker behind acclaimed docufilms like “Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck” and the Bob Evans-centered “The Kid Stays in the Picture,” is reportedly finalising a secret David Bowie project.
Morgen has reportedly been at work on the Bowie film for the last four years with a project described as “neither documentary nor biography, but an immersive cinematic experience”.
Assembled from thousands of hours of rare footage of the musician, much of it previously uncirculated, the project is reportedly eyeing an IMAX release with a potential festival premiere.
Bowie’s long-time producer Tony Visconti will serve as music producer while the Oscar-winning “Bohemian Rhapsody” sound team are mixing and designing the project. The film is also being made with the support and co-operation of the David Bowie estate including Bowie’s widow Iman.
