Get ready to fly over the rainbow with Judy, the dramatic biopic about the last year in the life of the legendary Judy Garland and her sold-out performances at the Talk of the Town in London, has been getting a lot of hype. It had its world premiere on August 30, 2019 at the Telluride Film Festival (if you haven’t checked out our write-up of the best films from Telluride, do so, Judy is of course on the list), and it received a standing ovation. Not only that, but the film, and Renée Zellweger’s performance as Garland in particular, have been generating a lot of early Oscar buzz.

While you patiently wait for Judy to come to a theater near you, the film is scheduled for a theatrical release in the US on September 27, 2019 and in the UK on October 2, 2019, check out this awesome featurette that was just released. This 4-minute video gives you a look into the making of this Oscars-hopeful, with interviews with the cast and crew and little snippets from the film.

Judy is directed by Rupert Goold with a script written by Tom Edge, itself adapted from Peter Quilter’s award-winning play End of the Rainbow.
