The last creative evening, which was held in London, pleasantly surprised many, because with the release of a biographical film about the life of Turner, more information about her work will appear. The very same singer of the idea to withdraw a biographical musical told the fans the following words:
"The idea to film about me appeared a few years ago, but I did not take it seriously at once. Probably, it was time to get used to this idea. It seemed to me that I did not need any show, because those who love my songs and already know enough about me. However, the team that will create the film, offered me an unusual concept. It will not just be a musical, but the story of my life, filled with songs. It is very important for me to convey to my viewer those moments from life that have affected my work most of all. I want to pay special attention to the period when I was forced to climb the stage with unbearable pains. I still remember with shudder the way I was going through it. I hope that the viewer can also understand what I felt then. "
In addition, Turner announced that the director of the film about her will be Phyllida Lloyd, who became known to the public due to her work in the musical "Mamma Mia!". As for the actress who will play Tina herself, then this role was chosen by 30-year-old Adrienne Warren.
