It\u2019s Never Over, Jeff Buckley<\/a>, a documentary about the late musician, has announced a summer release date in US cinemas.<\/p>\n

Ever since the \u2018Hallelujah\u2019 singer\u2019s tragic death from drowning in May 1997, aged 30, there have been many attempts to make a film about his life. It\u2019s Never Over, Jeff Buckley debuted at Sundance to rave reviews, and now will be released in US cinemas on August 8, and become available on streaming service HBO Max in the winter.<\/p>\n

In a press release, distributor Magnolia Pictures said the film \u201ccovers the life of the rising young star with an otherworldly voice and boundary-pushing artistry, who left the 90s music world reeling when he died suddenly, at age 30, after the release of his critically acclaimed debut album \u2018Grace\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n

It continued: \u201cTold through never-before-seen footage from Buckley\u2019s archives and intimate accounts from his mother Mary Guibert, former partners Rebecca Moore and Joan Wasser, Jeff\u2019s former bandmates, including Michael Tighe and Parker Kindred, and luminaries like Ben Harper<\/a> and Aimee Mann<\/a>, IT\u2019S NEVER OVER, JEFF BUCKLEY illuminates one of modern music\u2019s most influential and enigmatic figures\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve spent practically my entire career trying to make this film which takes a very intimate look at one of the greatest singers and songwriters of all time,\u201d director Amy Berg said in the release. \u201cI\u2019m so excited Magnolia and HBO have come on board to share this film with the world and give old fans and new audiences a chance to experience Jeff from this unique vantage point. I couldn\u2019t imagine a better team to roll this into the world!\u201d<\/p>\n

NME\u2019s four-star review<\/a> of the film described the movie as \u201ccelebratory not sad\u201d, calling it \u201ca well-rounded portrait of the legend that should appeal to both long-term Buckley devotees and newcomers alike\u201d.<\/p>\n

The doc also revealed the late star\u2019s mother objecting to Brad Pitt playing her son in a biopic.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s Never Over, Jeff Buckley, a documentary about the late musician, has announced a summer release date in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":160217,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3935],"tags":[77,3943,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-160216","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-movies","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114630800497225623","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=160216"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160216\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/160217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=160216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=160216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
