“I don’t want to change anything because it got me here.” Greenwich Entertainment has revealed an official trailer for a biopic documentary film titled Diane Warren: Relentless, telling the story of music iconic Diane Warren. If you cover awards news in Hollywood (or in music) you definitely know who she is – Diane Warren has received 15 Academy Award nominations for Best Song (though still without a win); she also received an honorary Oscar at the Governors Awards in November 2022. Diane Warren: Relentless is a music doc that reveals the unique genius of a woman who has shaped an entire generation of music. Having written over 400 songs for iconic artists such as Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Celine Dione, Lady Gaga, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, and Aerosmith, Diane Warren resides in the pantheon of music greats. This is her untold story. A jukebox musical is planned to be written by Joe DiPietro and directed by Kathleen Marshall, titled Obsessed, The Story of Diane Warren…so far, but it still hasn’t been produced yet. This looks like an empowering, inspiring, funny story of a woman who broke all the rules and continues to still make history.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Bess Kargman’s doc Diane Warren: Relentless, from YouTube:
