Major news for fans hopelessly devoted to Olivia Newton-John: a documentary in production about the late singer and actress will be coming to Netflix.

Hailing from director Cristina Costantini (Mucho Mucho Amor) and R.J. Cutler’s This Machine (a part of Sony Pictures Television), the doc tells the story of an artist who was told her dream was too big, that she was the wrong gender, and from the wrong place, to ever be a global star, disproving each assertion.

Award-winning director R.J. Cutler’s latest project is taking him to a very remote and very icy environment.

With over five decades of iconic popular music that includes several hit Broadway shows, one critically adored biographical feature film, and unforgettable duets with the likes of John Lennon, George Michael, Patti LaBelle, and Britney Spears just to name a few, it’s a testament to his genius that legendary musician Elton John is still standing and eager to make new music.

Hans Zimmer and Emilia Pérez took home three trophies each to lead the winners at the 2024 Hollywood Music in Media awards, which honor the year’s most memorable film and TV music moments.

Cutler joins the latest edition of Deadline’s Doc Talk podcast to address Martha Stewart’s criticisms.

Among the nominees are such hitmakers and composers as Elton John and Brandi Carlile, Miley Cyrus, Diane Warren, Pharrell Williams, A.R. Rahman and Linda Perry, among others.

When I set out to see R.J. Cutler‘s new documentary, Martha, quite frankly I wasn’t focusing on it other than just another screening I had, and that it would be all about Martha Stewart. So I expected it would be mostly gardening, cooking and setting the perfect dinner-party table.

Martha Stewart is sharing her story in Netflix‘s new documentary Martha, directed by R.J. Cutler.

We have the winners forthe 45th annual News & Documentary Emmy Awards. The News categories were in the spotlight Wednesday at the Palladium Times Square in New York City, which also hosted the Documentary ceremony on Thursday night.

If you want to make a documentary about someone famous, it helps to have a person on the inside – a spouse, say, who knows exactly where a treasure trove of archive is just waiting to be explored. Such is the case with the film Elton John: Never Too Late, the film about the British superstar singer-songwriter, which just premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. It is co-directed by David Furnish – Elton John’s husband – and R.J. Cutler, the renowned documentarian.

Elton John: Never Too Late, the documentary about the British-born music legend’s incredible career, will debut on Disney+ on Friday, December 13, the streaming platform announced today.

The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is out with the nominations for its 45th News & Documentary Emmy Awards, which will be handed out in the fall.

The Producers Guild is out with the first nominees for its 35th annual Producers Guild Awards.

The groundwork was laid for Nicole Newnham’s Oscar-contending documentary The Disappearance of Shere Hite back when the director was just a girl.

Oscar-nominated filmmaker Nicole Newnham tells us how European audiences reacted to her award-winning documentary The Disappearance of Shere Hite, about the titular American sex researcher who became a sensation after the publication of her book The Hite Report in the 1970s, and then was virtually driven into exile by a harsh backlash to her findings.

HBO Original documentary South To Black Power, a This Machine production, directed by Peabody Sam Pollard (HBO’s Hostages, Black Art: In the Absence of Light) and Llewellyn M. Smith (Poisoned Water), debuts Tuesday, November 28 on HBO and will be available to stream on Max.

In the mid-1970s most American women remained silent about their sexual feelings – how they achieved orgasms, what they liked to do in bed. It was a major taboo to explore such a topic. Shere Hite changed all that.
