Todd Haynes Says Theatrical Is His “Priority” For Apple TV+ Doc ‘The Velvet Underground’ – Cannes

Prince Harry’s appearance at the NFL Super Bowl has been branded an “overkill display” to show off his “new life” to the royals, according to a body language expert.The Duke of Sussex was spotted on camera watching the highlight of the American football calendar as the Los Angeles Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals at the SoFi Stadium in California on Sunday (February 13). Harry was not with his wife Meghan Markle but his cousin Princess Eugenie joined him to watch the event, as he showed her his new life as a private citizen in the USA.Body language expert Judi James watched how Harry and Eugenie interacted at the game and said it “emphasises a friendship that has looked strong for years.”She believes Harry looked "proud as punch" as he took Eugenie to the event.Speaking to the Express, Ms James said: "Harry’s leg splay and his almost overkill display of relaxation suggests he’s enjoying showing off his new life to his baseball-capped cousin."Her eye-smile and her rather tentative hand-touch to her own leg suggest she’s suitably excited and impressed by the occasion." Ms James continued to say that Harry should be showing more of his royal relatives around his US home, including his brother Prince William and Kate Middleton, but reported tensions have not seen that happen.

Neil Young has spoken out over a developing conspiracy theory that his music publishing is overseen by pharmaceutical corporation Pfizer – the company behind one of the most widely-used COVID-19 vaccines.In a since-deleted letter posted to his Neil Young Archives website (as transcribed by Stereogum), Young addressed the circulated belief his views on vaccines were dictated to him by Pfizer – who, according to the conspiracy theory, own Young’s music publishing.The misunderstanding stems from the fact that a former CEO at Pfizer now serves as a senior advisor for asset manager Blackstone, which currently has a partnership with music publisher Hipgnosis – with whom Young presently works.Young described the conspiracy theory as “clever but wrong” in the letter, while also quipping “so much for Pharm Aid” – a reference to both the common conspiracy theory trope of “big pharma” and his own charity Farm Aid.“The publishing share Hipgnosis has in my copyrights is in the Hipgnosis Songs Fund, that is publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange,” Young explained.“The Blackstone investment went into a separate Hipgnosis Private Fund, and none of that money was used for the Hipgnosis Songs Fund. Pfizer has not invested in Hipgnosis, but a past Pfizer CEO is a senior advisor for Blackstone.” The conspiracy theory is part of an ongoing conservative backlash against Young – most recently expressed by right-wing American rock musician Ted Nugent, who described Young as a “stoner birdbrain punk” for his recent protest against Spotify and Joe Rogan.Young removed his catalogue of albums from Spotify last month to protest the platform having Rogan’s podcast The Joe Rogan Experience as an exclusive to the service.

K.J. Yossman “The Velvet Underground” director Todd Haynes said one of the biggest challenges of making his first feature documentary, which premiered in Cannes this week, was bringing Lou Reed to life on screen.“We used his voice from archival material a lot, but to keep having his presence be sort of imbued into the film I think was the biggest one of the challenges,” said Haynes during a press conference at Cannes.“We’ve all seen those images of the [Velvet Underground’s] screen tests, you know, mostly in stills because the lighting is so fantastic and they all look so great and sexy.

So far 2021 is turning out to be quite the year for documentaries unearthing long-buried or unknown musical treasures of the ’60s. The current Summer of Soul highlights a series of Harlem-based concerts with iconic Black artists, a kind of African American Woodstock stuck in someone’s basement for half a century and now getting a much-acclaimed film directed by Questlove made from those tapes.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticFor years, I’ve been longing for someone to make a documentary about the Velvet Underground. They are, along with the Beatles and the Stones, one of the three seminal groups in the history of rock ‘n’ roll.

The always artful filmmaker Todd Haynes totally ignores the one clichéd anecdote about the iconoclastic rock group The Velvet Underground in his superb, eponymic doc “The Velvet Underground,” a film that should always be experienced at top volume. Attributed to the similarly groundbreaking musician/ producer Brian Eno, the oft-repeated phrase claims the debut VU record only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band.

Todd Haynes reinvented the music biopic not once but twice, first with the controversial glam rock epic Velvet Goldmine (1998), a pastiche of the life and times of David Bowie, and then with 2007’s I’m Not There, a dazzlingly surreal look at the many faces of folk poet Bob Dylan, sanctioned by the man himself. His latest, bankrolled by Apple TV+, might seem tame by comparison; a documentary about The Velvet Underground, it traces how Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison and Maureen Tucker—four disparate Manhattan musos shepherded by pop-art legend Andy Warhol—changed rock and roll forever.

Director Todd Haynes is no stranger to musically-inclined films. He took on the glam rock genre with 1998’s “Velvet Goldmine” and made a truly singular biopic about Bob Dylan with 2007’s “I’m Not There.” Now, for his documentary feature debut, Haynes tackles a legendary rock group in “The Velvet Underground.” READ MORE: Cannes Film Festival: Gaspar Noe, Bill Murray, Ari Folman Titles Added To Line Up The documentary has its world premiere out of competition at the Cannes Film Festival this week.
