Earlier this year, Francis Whately’s documentary, David Bowie: The Last Five Years, premiered on the BBC. A month later, HBO acquired the U.S. rights and they will broadcast it next year.
Thew film chronicles the work Bowie spent on his last two albums, 2013’s The Next Day and 2016’s Blackstar, and the Lazarus off-Broadway musical. However, as Whately told Rolling Stone, he was unable to get an interview with the famously private star. “I had sleepless nights thinking, ‘How am I going to fill 90 minutes without any footage?’ ” Whately, who also made a documentary in 2013 called David Bowie: Five Years, said. “I was really worried.”
