Bleecker Street’s Crosswalk and Universal Pictures Content Group have picked up rights to George Michael: The Faith Tour and are planning a late 2026 release. The concert film features footage shot during the Grammy winner’s performance at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in 1988.
“George at the height of the Faith tour was simply electrifying—there’s a magnetic force of charisma and connection with the audience that feels just as powerful today as it did then,” stated Helen Parker, EVP, Universal Pictures Content Group. “To see these performances brought to life on the big screen, in such a cinematic and immersive way, makes this incredibly special—particularly for those who were there or remember that moment so vividly. We also can’t wait for a whole new generation to experience just how extraordinary he was as a creative force, performer, and musical auteur.”
According to UPCG and Bleeker Street’s Crosswalk, this concert film consists of never-before-seen footage. It also includes a previously unseen interview.
“An icon of his generation and beyond, George Michael was at the height of his creative and cultural power during the Faith tour, a defining moment that was made for the big screen,” said Bleecker Street CEO Kent Sanderson. “Through beautifully restored archival footage and intimate, never-before-heard interviews, audiences will be given a front-row seat to a beloved artist at the peak of his impact.”
George Michael’s friends and collaborators Andy Morahan (“Last Christmas,” “Faith,” and “Careless Whisper”) and David Austin (George Michael “Freedom Uncut” and “George Michael at the Palais Garnier, Paris”) directed, and George Michael Entertainment and Globe Originals, in partnership with Mercury Studios, produced the film.
Bleeker Street’s Crosswalk and Universal Pictures Content Group released this synopsis:
“A triumph in archival filmmaking, George Michael: The Faith Tour transforms footage assembled from a 14-camera shoot captured on 35mm film over two nights into an extraordinary cinematic event and audio experience. The film opens with an original short, ‘Finding Faith,’ which features voiceover from Michael during an unheard interview alongside unseen images captured by legendary American photographer Herb Ritts and behind-the-scenes footage of the ‘Faith’ music video.”
