Disney has announced details on a brand new documentary about Elton John, which is called “Elton John: Never Too Late”, which follows Elton John as he looks back on his life and the astonishing early days of his 50-year career in this emotionally charged, intimate and uplifting full-circle journey, as he prepares for his final concert in North America at Dodger Stadium, Elton takes us back in time to recount the extraordinary highs and heartbreaking lows of his early years and how he overcame adversity, abuse and addiction to become the icon he is today.

The project was initially announced as part of a deal to livestream Elton John’s final performance from Dodger’s Stadium, which is available to stream now on Disney+.  The film will also feature a new original song from Elton John.

The original documentary from Disney Branded Television is produced by Rocket Entertainment and This Machine Filmworks (a part of Sony Pictures Television). Directors Cutler and Furnish also serve as producers alongside Trevor Smith. Elise Pearlstein, Mark Blatty, Luke Lloyd Davies, Rachael Paley, Jane Cha Cutler and John Battsek serve as executive producers.

The new documentary will be released on Disney+ on Friday 13th December 2024.  The film will be making its world premiere at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival on Friday 6th September 2024.

Roger’s Take:  I’m looking forward to watching this documentary, as I’ve been a long-time fan of Elton’s music and was lucky enough to see him while he was on his “Long Yellow Brick Road” final tour.
