Los Angeles, CA – May 29, 2025 – At its inaugural content showcase, Sony Music Vision presented the company’s diverse and compelling slate of film and television projects. Throughout the event, attendees were treated to exciting previews of highly anticipated releases—including films about Barbra Streisand, LISA, Oasis, and Elvis—and heard from additional award-winning filmmakers Frank Marshall, Sue Kim, Steven Knight and Baz Luhrmann as they discussed their upcoming documentaries.
Exclusively announced at the event was the start of production on the documentary following world-renowned rapper, singer, dancer, actress and style icon, LISA, in partnership with LLOUD CO./RCA Records and Tremolo Productions. The film will follow one year in the life of the multi-hyphenate artist, as she takes time away from the most successful girl group in K-Pop history to pursue her own solo journey. LISA has already had a very busy 2025, releasing her debut solo album, “Alter Ego,” via LLOUD CO./RCA Records, which charted #1 on the Top Album Sales chart and in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200. Additionally, she starred in the HBO Original series, The White Lotus, and made her solo debut at Coachella.
Directed by award-winning filmmaker Sue Kim, the untitled project will give fans exclusive access to LISA with an in-depth look at the artist’s groundbreaking career and creative vision outside of the world-renowned group, BLACKPINK. Most recently, Kim directed A24’s award-winning documentary, The Last of the Sea Women, which premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival and won multiple Critics’ Choice Awards and was an Executive Producer on the docuseries K-Pop Idols, both for Apple TV+. Her debut documentary short for Netflix, The Speed Cubers, was nominated for Critics Choice and Peabody awards, as well as shortlisted for an Academy Award.
“This has been such an incredible year and I’m so lucky to have the opportunity to capture these special moments on film and share the experience with my fans,” said LISA. “Working with Sue Kim has been such a joy. We’ve been all around the world together and I know this is just the beginning of many more exciting things to come.”
“Following Lisa on this transformative and thrilling year has been a true honor and a cinematic gift,” said Kim. “There have been so many moments on her journey that I think will surprise people and give a glimpse into her world that no one’s ever seen before. I’m excited for viewers to watch the film and witness this extraordinary moment in her life.”
Additionally, Luhrmann revealed footage from his upcoming project EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert. Combing through countless never-before-seen performances, unheard interview recordings and restored rarities, the acclaimed filmmaker has been developing the feature documentary alongside his longtime Academy Award-nominated editor, Jonathan Redmond, since production on his 2022 hit film Elvis. Woven together with Luhrmann’s uniquely electric style, EPiC offers audiences Elvis singing and telling his own story as we’ve never seen or heard him before.

When speaking about the film, Luhrmann said, “During the making of ELVIS, we went on a search for rumored unseen footage from the iconic 1970s concert films Elvis: That’s The Way It Is and Elvis on Tour. My initial thought was that we may be able to restore the unused footage (if we could find it) and use it in our Elvis feature, starring Austin Butler. I had researchers go into the Warners Bros. film vaults buried in underground salt mines and, to the astonishment of all, we uncovered 68 boxes of film negative, as well as unseen 8mm footage. It has taken two years to restore the footage to a quality that it has never been projected at previously, while the team had to meticulously claw back sound from the many, unconventional sources that were also unearthed. One of the great finds has been unheard recordings of Elvis talking about his life and his music. It was this that gave the inspiration for EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, which is not specifically a documentary, nor a concert film: Elvis takes the audience through the journey of his life, weaving never-before-seen footage with iconic performances that have never been presented in this way, from the 1970 Vegas show, on tour in 1972 and even precious moments of the 1957 “gold jacket” performance in Hawaii. Most importantly, Elvis will sing and tell you about his life in first person, through both classic and contemporary musical prisms.”
“I’m thrilled to be working with Alex Gibney again and to have the opportunity to bring Barbra’s incredible life story to the screen,” said Marshall of the Barbra Streisand multi-part documentary. “We have been given unprecedented access to archival footage from decades of her groundbreaking career and intimate visibility to the trailblazing she continues to do in life today. Uncovering these remarkable moments illustrate why she has become an enduring icon to a global audience of all generations.”
