Susan Boyle

Zodiak Rights has acquired the global distribution rights to Firecracker Films’ Susan Boyle: An Unlikely Superstar.

The 1 x 60-minute ob-doc, directed by Osca Humphreys (My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding), follows the Britain’s Got Talent sensation over the period of three months as she copes with her global success. The doc also features Boyle discussing her latest album with mentor Simon Cowell.

The film was commissioned by ITV1 in the UK and will premiere there this fall.

“As Susan Boyle’s success shows she has truly worldwide appeal and I’m sure this documentary will follow suit,” said Jane Millichip, managing director, Zodiak Rights. “It will be a centerpiece in this year’s MIPCOM catalog.”

This should be fascinating. In this world of cookie cutter celebs with fake boobs and bums and plastic smiles, Susan Boyle is the real deal. True to herself and giving the finger to fashionistas, who would change her style or way of life.

It’s about time to get some DVD’s out. So much interest and so little publicity Fans have been scratching around for information on Susan for years. This is wonderful, can’t wait. As far as her music, none better. What a voice and the new CD songs are fabulous. Most amazing and fascinating singer in years.
