The documentary landscape is fast-paced and unpredictable at present. Several films are already gaining attention and buzz ahead of their scheduled releases next year, including 'Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie', 'Alex Gibney's Musk', 'The History of Concrete', 'Oz', 'Billie Eilish: Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D)', 'The AI Doc', 'Once Upon a Time in Harlem', 'Give Me the Ball!', 'Questlove's Earth, Wind & Fire', and 'American Doctor'.
Salman Rushdie's memoir about his near-fatal 2022 onstage assassination attempt is set to be adapted into a documentary by Alex Gibney. The film promises an intimate look at Rushdie's recovery and features unseen footage of him with the help of his wife Rachel Eliza Griffiths.
Another highly anticipated project from Gibney is 'Alex Gibney's Musk', which will explore Elon Musk's life and career through interviews with those close to him, but not the entrepreneur himself. This raises questions about how much control the director had in shaping the narrative.
'The History of Concrete' is a more lighthearted take on the world of concrete, directed by John Wilson. The film promises to be an entertaining look at this often-overlooked material that has shaped our cities and architecture.
A new documentary about the 1939 classic 'Oz', the iconic movie that tested its creators, including director Victor Fleming and star Judy Garland, is set to premiere at Sundance. This will offer a fresh perspective on one of the most significant films of the 20th century.
Billie Eilish: Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) promises an innovative new concert experience by James Cameron and Eilish. This film's release comes after Cameron directed 'The Summer of Soul' and 'Sly Lives!', which received critical acclaim.
Daniel Roher, the director behind Oscar-winning documentary 'Navalny', returns with 'The AI Doc'. The film explores the existential dangers and potential promise of artificial intelligence through interviews with experts on both sides of the debate.
Questlove's upcoming documentary about Earth, Wind & Fire will delve into the history of the Chicago band. Questlove has established himself as a vital director of music documentaries and custodian of Black cultural history.
Lastly, 'American Doctor' documents three American physicians who responded to their moral obligation by visiting Gaza to provide medical aid to those suffering. This promises to be a heart-wrenching exploration of the complexities surrounding Palestinian freedom.

... I mean, it's about time someone tackles the existential dangers of AI, right? like, we're already stuck in a loop of tech advancement and societal issues... Daniel Roher's already proven himself with 'Navalny', so fingers crossed this one doesn't get lost in the void. 
. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how much control they had over the narrative... 
. who doesn't love talking about concrete? I mean, seriously though, have you seen that stuff in action? crazy!
. With all these big-name directors coming out with new projects, it's hard to know what to look forward to next 
. 
. And 'American Doctor' sounds like it could be a real game-changer, shedding light on an often-overlooked aspect of Palestinian freedom 
.
. Can't wait to dive in and find out! 
, and I had to stop at this quirky thrift store on the way. They had some crazy vintage posters, but one caught my eye - it was an old advertisement for a 1950s diner that served the craziest milkshakes, like chocolate cake with strawberry ice cream. Anyway, got back home and saw that 'The AI Doc' is coming out next year 
. But, for real though, some projects are giving me major concerns about control and representation 
. Like, how much did Alex Gibney have to do with shaping Elon Musk's narrative in 'Alex Gibney's Musk'? 
. James Cameron is no stranger to innovative storytelling, and pairing him with Eilish could be magic 
.
. I'm all about exploring the existential dangers of AI and the experts who are pushing back against it 
FIRST OF ALL, THE FACT THAT SALMAN RUSHIE IS GETTING A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT HIS ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT IS JUST MIND-BLOWING! I MEAN, IT'S SUCH AN INTENSE AND PERSONAL STORY, AND I CAN ALREADY IMAGINE HOW POWERFUL IT'S GOING TO BE ON FILM. AND THEN THERE'S 'ALEX GIBNEY'S MUSK' WHICH RAISES SO MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DIRECTOR'S ROLE IN SHAPING THE NARRATIVE... IS HE GOING TO TRY TO GET ELON MUSK TO OPEN UP, OR WILL IT JUST BE A REALLY INTERESTING LOOK AT HIS LIFE AND CAREER? 
. But what really caught my attention is 'The AI Doc'. We're living in a time where AI is becoming more and more integrated into our lives, so it's super interesting to see how this documentary explores both the benefits and risks of it all 
! 
But, like, what's up with Alex Gibney not talking to Elon Musk himself? Does he think the director can get the real Elon story without him?
