Back in 2017, it was revealed that Todd Haynes was working on a documentary about the Velvet Underground. Now, Apple has announced that it has acquired the rights to the film, simply titled The Velvet Underground. The documentary, directed and co-produced by Haynes, will have its eventual premiere on Apple TV+.
The Velvet Underground is being produced by Polygram Entertainment, Motto Pictures, and Killer Films, in association with Federal Films. Producers on the documentary include Christine Vachon, Julie Goldman, Christopher Clements, Carolyn Hepburn, and David Blackman.
According to a press release, The Velvet Underground will feature interviews with “key players” from the Velvets’ era, as well as “a treasure trove of never-before-seen performances and a rich collection of recordings, Warhol films, and other experimental art.”
