New Avicii Documentary in the Works Focusing on the Late DJ’s Discovery and Rise to Fame (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comChris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic A new documentary about Avicii, the late Swedish DJ who became an international phenomenon in the 2010s, is underway, with Lawrence Bender, known for his many projects with Quentin Tarantino, and longtime talent manager Orlando John as producing partners.
John will co-direct the film with Jonas Trukanas. “Avicii changed the music industry,” said John, a Dutch talent manager who works with musician Wyclef Jean, actor Joel Kinnaman and others. “People think they know the story, but they have really no clue as to what actually happened.
I feel a profound responsibility to ensure that it’s told accurately and objectively. This documentary will give the audiences a deeper understanding of the brand that left an indelible mark on music and culture.” Said Bender, the producer of “Good Will Hunting,” “Pulp Fiction” and many other dramatic feature films, as well as the documentary “An Inconvenient Truth”: “What got me excited was not just the story of Avicii, but also the take Orlando had as a director,.
It’s that take that’s going to make this eye-opening.” The announcement about this new project emphasizes that the film will delve into how the celebrated DJ, born Tim Bergling, rose to fame with the help of Ash Pournouri, who discovered the DJ in 2008 and managed him until a split in 2016.
