The Morrissey biopic England Is Mine is set to premiere July 2nd as part of the Edinburgh Film Festival. The film is set in the 1970s and tells the story of Morrissey's early days, ambition, and struggle which famously led to him becoming one of the most iconic musicians of all time. The film was directed by Mark Gill and stars Jack Lowden as Morrissey.
Morrissey did not participate in the unauthorized biopic and previously revealed:
"I know nothing about it. I wasn’t consulted, so they obviously didn’t want my clarity to muddle up their perspective of how things were, or are, or should be."
The film opens in the U.K. on August 4th. A North American premiere has not yet been announced. Watch the trailer below:
