Cutler and filmmaker David Furnish, the documentary will serve as the official feature on Elton John, comprised of unseen concert footage of him over the past 50 years, hand-written journals, and present-day footage of him and his family. Following a robust festival run and limited theatrical release, the film will be available exclusively on Disney+.<\/p>\n<p>Rooted in Elton John&#8217;s &#8220;Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour,&#8221; the feature documentary film will capture Elton John&#8217;s final months on the road, culminating in what promises to be one of the greatest send-offs in rock-and-roll history when John performs his final North American show at Dodger Stadium this upcoming November. The film will also look back at the extraordinary first five years of John&#8217;s career when, between 1970 and 1975, he released 10 iconic albums, seven of which went to No. 1 on the Billboard charts and became a global phenomenon.<\/p><div id=\"morty-4009954176\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;There are no superlatives left to describe Elton John and his impact on music and culture &#8211; he&#8217;s simply unrivaled,&#8221; said Bob Chapek, CEO of The Walt Disney Company. &#8220;Like a good Disney story, Elton&#8217;s music has both universal appeal and the ability to connect with audiences on a deeply personal level. He has been part of the Disney family since 1994 when he helped make &#8216;<em>The Lion King<\/em>&#8216; an instant classic, and we could not be more excited to collaborate with him on this new documentary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Working with R.J. Cutler and David Furnish on what will undoubtedly become the definitional film about the iconic Elton John is a great honor,&#8221; said Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television. &#8220;Their incredible vision and intimate access to exclusive, never-before-seen anecdotes and footage will provide the deepest, most captivating insight yet into one of the world&#8217;s most beloved and prolific artists.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With exclusive new interviews and performance clips from Madison Square Garden, London, and other performance venues, the film will be the definitive portrait of one of the world&#8217;s most successful musical artists of all time, who has inspired multiple generations of audiences and musicians.

Cutler will also produce the film under his company, This Machine Filmworks, as will David Furnish, who will produce under his and Elton John&#8217;s formed Rocket Entertainment.
