The trailer for It\u2019s Never Over, Jeff Buckley, a documentary about the late musician, has debuted online.<\/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. The doc itself revealed the late star\u2019s mother objected to Brad Pitt playing her son in a biopic<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now director Amy berg takes archive footage, as well as new interviews with his family and contemporaries, to offer the first authorised portrait of his life. Watch the full trailer below.<\/p>\n The two-minute clip features his mother, Mary Guibert, Buckley\u2019s partners, and bandmates, plus Aimee Mann<\/a> and Ben Harper<\/a>, all of whom discuss his talent, personality, and success. Buckley\u2019s voice also offers some insight through archive footage. About music, he playfully says: \u201cMy main influences? Love, anger, depression, and Zeppelin\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n There are also serious moments, such as a section concerning his relationship with his father, fellow musician Tim Buckley<\/a>. The two barely knew each other before Tim Buckley died in 1975, aged 28. During the trailer, Jeff is asked what he inherited from him, to which he icily replies: \u201cpeople who remember my father \u2013 next question\u201d.<\/p>\n There are also ominous quotes from the man about his own mortality. One interviewee recalls him saying \u201cI\u2019m not gonna last that long\u201d. Later, one of the final quotes of the trailer is the artist declaring: \u201cI\u2019ve been wrong, and completely ugly, I\u2019ve been beautiful, I\u2019ve been totally in love, I\u2019ve been hideous, but I\u2019ve never been dead\u201d.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s Never Over, Jeff Buckley will be released in US cinemas on August 8, and become available on streaming service HBO Max in the winter. As yet, there is no listed UK release date. It premiered at Sundance in January to rave reviews, and currently sits at a 100% \u201cfresh\u201d rating on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n
