Moonage Daydream, a new historical film about David Bowie, will premiere at Cannes Film Festival next month, reports Variety. The movie is officially sanctioned by Bowie’s estate and features previously unreleased 35mm and 16mm footage from his personal archives. Moonage Daydream is directed, written, and produced by Brett Morgen (best known for Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck), and will make its streaming premiere on HBO and HBO Max in spring 2023. According to U.S. distributor Neon, the film is five years in the making.
Variety first reported the news of Moonage Daydream last November. At the time, a source told the publication that the film is “neither documentary nor biography, but an immersive cinematic experience built, in part, upon thousands of hours of never before seen material,” including concert footage. It was also reported that Tony Visconti, Bowie’s longtime producer, served as the film’s music producer.
Earlier this year, Warner Chappell Music purchased the global music publishing rights to Bowie’s song catalog for nearly $250 million. The acquisition spans his six-decade-long catalog and includes over 400 songs.
