George Michael Faith Tour Film Acquired by Bleecker Street, Universal

The concert film "George Michael: The Faith Tour" has been acquired by Universal Pictures Content Group and Bleecker Street's event cinema division, Crosswalk. This acquisition marks a significant release for fans of the iconic artist, bringing a previously unreleased concert film to audiences.

Universal Pictures Content Group is slated to handle the international distribution of the film. Concurrently, Bleecker Street's Crosswalk division will manage the film's release within North America. The film captures George Michael performing during the European leg of his "Faith" tour, offering a rare glimpse into this celebrated period of his career.

Shot at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy, the concert film is expected to feature performances from one of Michael's most successful tours. The "Faith" album, released in 1987, achieved massive global success, topping charts in numerous countries and spawning multiple hit singles. The subsequent tour, which ran from 1988 to 1989, was equally triumphant, solidifying Michael's status as a global superstar.

While specific release dates for the film have not yet been announced, the acquisition by these two prominent distribution companies indicates a planned theatrical or special event cinema release. This project represents a notable addition to the catalog of music documentaries and concert films, providing an opportunity for both long-time fans and new audiences to experience George Michael's electrifying stage presence and musical talent.
