Harry Styles MSG Residency Gets Documentary From John Wilson

· Entertainment · United States

Harry Styles' historic Madison Square Garden residency is becoming a documentary from director John Wilson, made with Universal Pictures Content Group, according to an exclusive report. Wilson, behind the indie hit "The History of Concrete" and HBO's "How To with John Wilson," has been filming Styles at MSG. Separately, at a sold-out MSG show on the second anniversary of Liam Payne's death, Styles performed an unreleased acoustic song titled "What Is Enough" as a tribute to his late One Direction bandmate, and he also honored Payne with an unreleased song at the venue. The project extends the growing market for concert films built around major pop residencies.

Why it matters:Concert documentaries tied to record-setting residencies are becoming a reliable format for studios, and a major pop star's arena run is the latest to be packaged for screens beyond the venue.
