Multiple outlets confirm that the presidential portrait docu feature will open the 19th Tribeca Film Festival. The world premiere event will take place on April 15 at New York’s Beacon Theatre. 

The rockumentary was directed by veteran music documentarian Mary Wharton. It was written by Bill Flanagan and produced by Chris Farrell. 

“The film accurately captures my love for all music and the importance music has played in my personal and professional life. I remain hopeful and believe that music can serve to bring us together as a nation,” Carter said in a statement. “Rosalynn and I are pleased with the fine film Mary and Chris have made and thank all those involved for telling this story. We are thrilled that it will debut at the Tribeca Film Festival.”

The film’s world premiere will be followed by live performances from Nelson, Paul Shaffer, and others.

After years in gestation, the long-awaited musical based on the 1985 film Back to the Future finally has a world premiere date. 

Back to the Future: The Musical will hit the stage early in 2020, showing at the Manchester Opera House in the UK from February 20 through May 17. According to Playbill, a London engagement will follow at a West End venue. 

The musical is directed by Tony-winner John Rando from a book by the film’s co-writer Bob Gale. Back to the Future director Robert Zemeckis is attached as a producer.

“Bob Zemeckis and I have been trying to get this project off the ground for years, but good things take time and finally, the time is right,” said Gale. “Our cast is outstanding, the songs are fantastic, and director John Rando is doing an amazing job ensuring the show truly captures the magic of the movie. We’re thrilled that we can retell our story on stage in a brand-new way, and we’re certain that Back to the Future fans all over the world will share our enthusiasm. In the words of Marty McFly, ‘your kids are gonna love it’ — and so will you and your parents.”

Olly Dobson has been set as Marty McFly. The role of Dr. Emmett Brown has not yet been announced.
