Renée Zellweger stars as Judy Garland in 1960s London – watch ‘Judy’ trailer!
Renée Zellweger’s lavish Judy Garland biopic has a brand new trailer.
Featuring some of the star’s best-known songs, the upcoming period drama movie is adapted from the Olivier and Tony nominated 2012 Broadway play End of the Rainbow.
Judy celebrates “the voice, the capacity for love, and the sheer pizzazz of ‘the world’s greatest entertainer.'”
The story sees Garland arrive in the British capital in the late 1960s for a run of sell-out concerts.
Watch the trailer:
The official synopsis for Judy reads: “Winter 1968 and showbiz legend Judy Garland (Renée Zellweger) 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.”
The cast also includes Finn Wittrock (American Horror Story), Jessie Buckley (The Woman in White) and Michael Gambon (Harry Potter).
Judy is set for release in the USA on 27th September and in the UK on 4th October.
