A teaser trailer has been released for the documentary Musk, from Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney, who previously made Taxi to the Dark Side, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief, Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine, and Zero Days among others. This doc, which clocks in at just under 4 hours, opens this week at the Venice Film Festival before heading to the Toronto Film Festival.
Gibney talked to Deadline last year about the film, and said of its subject, Elon Musk, “He is a larger-than-life figure. People have their opinions about him, but I think the challenge… is to bring something that people don’t expect to find, something in the material that’s hiding, some stuff that’s hiding in plain sight, which is what I’d say we are finding that I think will be surprising for folks.
“And it’s not just like, is it Elon thumbs up or Elon thumbs down? I’m not really interested in that kind of formula, douche or not. But it’s more like, what do we really think about how he operates? And I’m pretty confident that what we’re coming up with will be illuminating and also kind of formally innovative. We’re really going to have fun with this.”
Bleecker Street plans to release it theatrically
Bleecker Street plans to release it theatrically on October 16, with HBO debuting the film on premium cable and the HBO Max streaming platform after that.
The documentary is expected to make a strong bid for Academy Award recognition. Check out the trailer below:
