Jeff Buckley Band • Page 3

ok yeah that makes sense

 

Looks like the new Jeff documentary is coming next year

 

oooooo

 

Why Jeff Buckley Biopic Starring Brad Pitt Was Nixed by Musician's Mom

The documentary premieres today, hope there's a way for me to watch in the UK eventually

 

Okay, but she later greenlit this one with Reeve Carney (which I think has also fizzled out).

But hey, I agree with her. I don't think there really needs to be a biopic. The docs made about him are all pretty good and I'm looking forward to seeing the new one. I wish it were available for Sundance Online ticket-buyers.

 

she greenlit a movie that did come out with penn badgley lol. hot take: a brad pitt movie would have been much better.

 

TIL Reeve Carney was cast in two doomed biopics. Orian Williams' in 2021 and another based on David Browne's Dream Brother book in 2011. That one was in early stages of production while Greetings From Tim Buckley was being made as well as ANOTHER based on Jeff Apter's A Pure Drop.

Of the three scripts at that time, Badgley's movie was probably the one least based on Jeff's life.

 

Isn't Reeve Carney also the Spider-Man musical guy? Is he the most cursed actor of all time?

 

idk he was the star of a well loved showtime show for multiple seasons lol there has to be someone worse

 

Jeff Buckley documentary It's Never Over coming to theaters this summer
documentary in theaters in August and then later on HBO Max

 

fuck yeah

 

can’t wait

 

Seeing the doc tomorrow. And they just added an exclusive 1994 performance that'll play after the film.

 

Damn, that sounds amazing

 

Will share thoughts on the doc later but here is the tracklist for the exclusive performance they showed afterwards. Great footage and sound.

1. Eternal Life
2. Last Goodbye
3. Dink’s Song
4. Lover, You Should’ve Come Over

It’s entirely possible there was one more towards the beginning. My head was reeling a little bit and people kept getting up to leave like they had something better to do than watch Jeff kill it.

 

Gathered some thoughts. In short, the doc was pretty disappointing. Has an occasionally interesting POV from the strongest female influences in his life (plus Aimee Mann?), but doesn’t go deeply enough into that (or anything) to be that interesting or worthwhile. Most of it looks like shit.

It’s far from a comprehensive or definitive Jeff Buckley documentary. Anyone who follows this thread has undoubtedly seen most of the archival stuff in it or heard most of the firsthand stories in more detail on YouTube.

The performance footage was sick though.
