Rihanna documentary will be released by the end of the year
Rihanna documentary will be released by the end of the year. The director of a documentary on singer has promised it will be released by the end of the year, two years after it was first announced. The film is said to be an “unfiltered look into Rihanna’s life and how she’s ascended to become a global icon”. Rihanna was gracious in her acceptance speech. She spoke about how her success is never just about her — it’s about Barbados, her family, her fans and “women, black women.
Director Peter Berg (Mile 22, Patriots Day, Deepwater Horizon) says the film will be modelled after legendary Bob Dylan documentary Don’t Look Back. It reportedly focuses on Rihanna at work on her 2016 album, Anti. “She’s a really, really interesting woman and the movie will be out in about a month-and-half, two months.” Berg cast Rihanna in 2012 sci-fi Battleship. Previously she had appeared in Bring It On: All or Nothing and most recently starred in Ocean’s Eight.
“I think she’s an extraordinary young woman and it really is kind of a pretty comprehensive profile of what goes in to making her this talent that she is. The work ethic, the talent, luck, the hustle, the vision,” Berg told Rolling Stone. Rihanna is the most important pop artist of the century because of these contributions to music — and her music is beloved.
Renowned Barbadian singer will become the first black woman to grace the cover of British Vogue’s highly-anticipated September issue in the magazine’s 102-year history. “I always knew it had to be Rihanna,” editor-in-chief Edward Enninful wrote in his monthly editor’s letter. “A fearless music-industry icon and businesswoman, when it comes to that potent mix of fashion and celebrity, nobody does it quite like her. No matter how haute the styling goes, or experimental the mood, you never lose her in the imagery.”
