We will never know why it has taken so long BUT we are finally about to have a fab new documentary about legendary musician, the iconic Tina Turner.
HBO
have just released the first teaser trailer for “Tina,” the highly anticipated documentary on her incredible 60 year career as the Queen of Rock ‘n Roll. And most importantly it represents the first authorized feature documentary on Turner.
The trailer opens with the 81-year-old (!) Turner in a sparely decorated sit down interview, recounting a childhood memory of watching her mother at the window. It then explodes into dynamic concert footage and a thrilling montage of photos from her youth and performances. ]
Turner first rocketed to stardom in the 1960s and ’70s, performing alongside her then-husband Ike. Off-stage, the partnership was violent, though the extent of the abuse wasn’t known until after the pair divorced and Tina began to speak publicly about her experiences.
“Tina” will prominently feature the period of her solo career resurgence in the 1980s, a new chapter of stardom that crossed over into the film world, too, with a striking appearance in “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.”
The documentary features interviews with Angela Bassett, Oprah Winfrey, journalist Kurt Loder, playwright Katori Hall (“P-Valley”), and Tina’s husband Erwin Bach, among others.
Oscar-winning filmmakers Dan Lindsay and T.J. Martin are leading this feature-length look at Turner’s lengthy career.
“Tina” will be available on HBO and HBO Max on March 27.
