The main trailer for one of this autumn’s most high-profile movies has arrived. Judy stars Renee Zellweger and will arrive in the middle of awards season in October and I wouldn’t be surprised if it pops up at some of the late 2019 film festivals – we’re talking Venice, TIFF, before then too. The film already has some good buzz and it is already on our must-see list for the end of the year.
Winter 1968 and showbiz legend Judy Garland arrives in Swinging London to perform in a sell-out run at The Talk of the Town. It is 30 years since she shot to global stardom in The Wizard Of Oz, but if her voice has weakened, its dramatic intensity has only grown. As she prepares for the show, battles with management, charms musicians, and reminisces with friends and adoring fans, her wit and warmth shine through. Even her dreams of romance seem undimmed as she embarks on a courtship with Mickey Deans, her soon-to-be fifth husband. And yet Judy is fragile. After working for 45 of her 47 years, she is exhausted; haunted by memories of a childhood lost to Hollywood; and gripped by a desire to be back home with her kids. Featuring some of her best-known songs, the film celebrates the voice, the capacity for love and the sheer pizzazz of “the world’s greatest entertainer”.
The film is based on the stage play End Of The Rainbow by Peter Quilter and has been adapted for the big screen by Tom Edge (The Crown). Rupert Goold (True Story) directs.
