A Movie About David Bowie, Stardust Will Be Released In The UK Late 2020

JAKARTA - Distributor Vertigo acquired David Bowie's film Stardust. It is planned that this film will be shown in the UK at the end of 2020.

Stardust tells the journey of David Bowie (Johnny Flynn) throughout America in 1971 where he promoted the album The Man Who Sold The World. He travels with his band leaving behind his pregnant wife Angie (Jena Malone).

For a long time playing music, David Bowie has had difficulties in finding his identity and fashion style.

The film Stardust is directed by Gabriel Range and stars Johnny Flynn, who previously played Emma and Beast.

After the release of the trailer last week, netizens gave negative response to this film. But this is inversely proportional to the positive reception this film receives at the festival.

Stardust brought Flynn's Best Actor win at the Raindance Film Festival in London. The film was also sold to the Tribeca Film Festival, Rome Film Festival and other film festivals.

The Bowie family also said they were not involved in the filming so that Bowie's music would not be present in the Stardust film.

Currently, cinemas in Europe are being closed following the second lockdown due to the persistent COVID-19 cases. But Vertigo distributors believe the Stardust film will be released on November 25 in the UK following the United States and other countries.
