The film is being screened as the festival’s American Express Gala at the Royal Festival Hall.
The 68th BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express has confirmed that its American Express Gala will be the European Premiere Elton John: Never Too Late, being screened on the 10th October. It has also been confirmed that Elton John and directors R.J. Cutler and David Furnish will be in attendance.
This new documentary about the singer will follow Elton John as he looks back on his life and the early days of his 50-year career. As he prepared for his final concert in North America at Dodger Stadium, the singer takes audiences back in time and recounts the extraordinary highs and heartbreaking lows of his early years which have helped him become one of the biggest artists in the world.
Elton John: Never Too Late is an original documentary from Disney Branded Television and is produced by Rocket Entertainment and This Machine Filmworks (a part of Sony Pictures Television).
Kristy Matheson, BFI London Film Festival Director, said: “Directors R.J. Cutler and David Furnish bring a great intimacy and exhilaration to the story of one of the world’s most accomplished and beloved musicians. We’re delighted to present Elton John: Never Too Late and give audiences a front row seat to one of the most electrifying creative careers of our age.”
