Calliope Media are co-producing a definitive documentary portrait of Elvis Costello with Les Films d’ici (Paris) and others. The project is in development with ARTE France and will be co-financed by the BBC, in collaboration with Universal Music and other partners with whom discussions are currently under way. The project has been in development for over a year and shooting started in May 2012 during Elvis’s UK tour. This will be the first authorised portrait of one of rock music’s most original writers and performers.
