Toni Visconti is heading up the music production.

Variety says,

“Moonage Daydream,” a David Bowie historical film featuring a bounty of previously unreleased footage and helmed by Brett Morgen, the director behind “Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck,” “Jane” and “The Kid Stays in the Picture,” will be distributed in the U.S. by Neon and internationally by Universal Pictures Content Group, with a streaming premiere on HBO and HBO Max in the spring of 2023. Variety broke the news of the project last November.

While no theatrical release date has been announced for the film — the first to be officially sanctioned by Bowie’s estate — sources tell Variety that it is likely to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next month, the lineup for which is scheduled to be announced Thursday.

While the announcement sheds little light on what the film will actually be, it does note that Morgen was given “unfiltered access to Bowie’s personal archives and … unearthed hundreds of hours of never-before seen 35mm and 16mm footage, and was able to assemble the performances from these original camera masters. Accordingly, all of the performances presented in the film will appear for the first time.” It adds that some 48 Bowie compositions appear in the film.

In November, a source close to the production described the film to Variety as “neither documentary nor biography, but an immersive cinematic experience built, in part, upon thousands of hours of never before seen material.”

How that material will be presented is less clear. Some five years in the making, it is described as a “feature-length experiential cinematic odyssey that explores Bowie’s creative, musical and spiritual journey. Told through sublime, kaleidoscopic, never-before-seen footage, performances, and music, the film is guided by Bowie’s narration.” It adds that in 2017, Bowie’s estate granted Morgen “unfiltered access to Bowie’s personal archives, including all master recordings, to create an artful and life-affirming film that takes the audience on a journey through Bowie’s creative life. Morgen has constructed a sublime cinematic experience that will provide audiences with unrestricted access to Bowie’s personal archives.”

Keeping an open mind on this one.

The way the family has been very protective of what they give the ok to and don't is what to look for if the family hasn't said OK to something or helping than expect it's not good. It's good that the family has, and it gave access to unseen stuff, this is very similar to recent documentaries one on the life of Michael Hurchence, one on the life of Harry Chapin and a recent one winning numerous awards on the band aha. Hopefully prince gets this and access is given, if it gets a sugar coated treatment then it's an issue
