The documentary will be on the big screen July 22 in movie theaters near and far thanks to a worldwide simultaneous broadcast.
Cinema locations will be announced June 4, the same day you’ll get to pre-order movie tickets.
“This beautifully crafted film provides a unique insight into the powerful bond between a recording artist and those who connect so profoundly with his music,” said executive producer Ridley Scott.

“World War Z” features Muse’s music – and so will the big world premiere. The English rockers announced today that after the film is shown at London’s Leicester Square June 2, the band will perform from Horse Guard Parade Ground.
The performance is free, but you’ll need a ticket to get in. Tickets will be available May 28 at 9 a.m. London time via a special Ticketmaster link and code via the “WWZ” website, official Muse email list and selected partner promotions.
“World War Z,” which tells the tale of a “race against time to stop a pandemic that is toppling armies and governments and threatening to decimate humanity itself,” stars Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos and James Badge Dale. In other words, Brad Pitt needs to save the world from a mega-major zombie outbreak.
Tim Curry reportedly suffered a stroke Thursday night at his home in Los Angeles.
The Daily Mail reports that few details were available about the stroke but that his longtime agent said the English actor/singer is “doing great.”
“He absolutely can speak and is recovering at this time and in great humor,” Marcia Hurwitz told the Daily Mail.
In addition to earning fame for his role in the cult hit “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” Curry’s resume includes theatre performances, voice work in animated TV shows and films, playing Wadsworth in “Clue” and three albums.
So, Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky,” featuring Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers, is pretty fantastic, right? Well, surprise, surprise – Liam Gallagher doesn’t think so.
“I’d write that in a f***ing hour” Gallagher said in interview with Sony’s MU streaming service, according to The Independent (via Consequence of Sound). “I don’t know what the fuss is about, you know what I mean? It’s like f**k off, give me a f**king break.”
Oh, Liam.
