After releasing a teaser a month back, the first official trailer for Judy has been released and it shows Renée Zellweger channeling Judy Garland in the biopic about the late actress.
Here is the official logline:
“Winter 1968 and showbiz legend Judy Garland arrives in Swinging London to perform a five-week sold-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 love seem undimmed as she embarks on a whirlwind romance with Mickey Deans, her soon-to-be fifth husband. 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 co-stars Jessie Buckley, Finn Wittrock, Rufus Sewell, and Michael Gambon and is being helmed by Rupert Goold. Zellweger plays the iconic American actress, singer, and dancer in her later life. Wittrock plays Mickey Deans, Garland’s late-in-life fifth husband who was with the former MGM star when she died in London in 1969.
Judy hits screens on September 27.
