Apple TV Will Release Todd Haynes' VELVET UNDERGROUND Documentary

Todd Haynes' upcoming documentary about 60s avant-garde band "The Velvet Underground" has landed at Apple TV Plus.

According to Variety, the film aims to prove how how the group became a cultural touchstone representing a range of contradictions: timely yet timeless; literary yet realistic; rooted in high art and street culture.

The film will feature a trove of never before seen performances, studio recordings, Warhol films, and other experimental art that underscores what founding member John Cale called the band's creative ethos: "How to be elegant and how to be brutal."

Lou Reed was the most famous member of the ensemble.

Haynes' films include "Velvet Goldmine," "I'm Not There," "Carol," and "Mildred Pierce."
