Universal is pressing ahead with plans to release Alex Gibney’s nearly four-hour documentary “Musk” outside the United States, despite a legal notice from Elon Musk. Sources familiar with the project confirmed to Variety that the international rollout remains on track, although a specific release date has not yet been announced. The film, which explores the life and career of the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, has been the subject of controversy since its announcement.
Gibney, known for his investigative documentaries, completed “Musk” earlier this year. The film has not yet been scheduled for a domestic release, but its overseas distribution is proceeding as planned.
