Universal Pictures Content Group and Bleecker Street’s event cinema division, Crosswalk, have acquired the international and North American rights to George Michael: The Faith Tour. The electrifying concert film features recently rediscovered, never-before-seen footage of the global superstar performing at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy during the European leg of his iconic tour in 1988.
The feature is directed by longtime George Michael collaborators Andy Morahan (Faith, Careless Whisper) and David Austin (George Michael Freedom Uncut). Set for a worldwide release in cinemas in late 2026, the global theatrical rollout will include exclusive early access IMAX screenings in the United States. Screenings will also feature an opening original short film by celebrated filmmaker and photographer Mary McCartney (If These Walls Could Sing).
Produced by George Michael Entertainment and Mercury Studios in association with Globe Originals, the film captures the artist at the absolute peak of his creative and cultural power. In addition to beautifully restored live performance footage, the release incorporates an unseen, unheard interview alongside rare photography, giving fans an intimate look at the performer's magnetic stage presence and musical genius.
Complementing the big-screen event, George Michael Entertainment and Sony Music Entertainment will release The Faith Tour live album. The 18-track collection features previously unreleased live recordings, showcasing timeless hits from both his solo catalogue and his era with Wham!.
Universal Pictures Content Group’s Helen Parker noted that seeing Michael’s charisma brought to life in such an immersive way allows both long-time fans and a new generation to experience his extraordinary impact as a performer. Bleecker Street CEO Kent Sanderson added that the film offers a front-row seat to an icon at his absolute peak. Following previous event cinema successes, George Michael: The Faith Tour promises to deliver a major cinematic milestone celebrating one of pop music’s most enduring legacies.
