A new film that explores the creative journey of David Bowie, Moonage Daydream, has received a trailer.

The documentary directed by Brett Morgen is the first film officially sanctioned by the Bowie estate. Morgen also created the 2015 film Kurt Cobain: Montage Of Heck. 

Moonage Daydream promises to give fans never before seen footage, while diving into his music and other creative endeavours, including screenwriting, sculpture, acting, painting and dance. It is set to also be narrated and soundtracked by Bowie.

It is the first documentary that is made with the blessing of Bowie's family, with the family being won over by previous films directed by Morgen, who utilises private footage to create intimate films rather than producing surface-level documentaries. 

The private footage is taken from Bowie's personal archives, including all of his master archives and hours of discovered 35mm and 16mm film on stage. 

The soundtrack is comprised of 48 musical tracks that were held by long time David Bowie collaborator and producer Tony Visconty, Bohemian Rhapsody sound mixer Paul Massey, and Ford v. Ferrari sound engineer David Giammarco.
