R.J. Cutler is directing and producing a documentary on the life of Julie Andrews for Disney+.
The as-yet-untitled doc from This Machine, a part of Sony Pictures Television, is set to air on the streaming platform in 2027, delivering never-before-seen archival footage as well as new interviews.
“Julie Andrews is not simply a beloved performer,” said Cutler. “She is a cultural touchstone, a figure woven into the fabric of how generations of people understand joy, resilience and grace. Most people don’t know the extraordinary challenges she’s had to overcome throughout her life, all of which we delve into in this film. To sit with Julie, to be allowed into her inner world, to watch her reflect on a life that has shaped so many other lives was an experience I will forever cherish. She gave us her full self, without armor, without pretense. And what we found was someone even more extraordinary than the icon. I am humbled by her talent, in awe of her strength, and honored by her trust.”
