When Justin Timberlake and the Tennessee Kids swung by Las Vegas to bring the curtain down on their barnstoming 20/20 Experience world tour, director Jonathan Demme was present, camera in hand, and ready to capture the event in all of its spectacular glory.
Filmed in 2015, it was only recently that Netflix snapped up distribution rights to Demme’s feature, and we now arrive at the reveal trailer for Justin Timberlake and the Tennessee Kids. As the final date in their worldwide tour, there was a tremendous amount of anticipation swirling around the music group as they entertained those in attendance at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and, as you can gather from the video up above, they didn’t disappoint.
As far as Netflix Originals go, Demme’s picture isn’t likely to occupy headlines left, right and center in the vein of, say, Luke Cage, but it does present a behind-the-scenes peek into the performance of Justin Timberlake and the Tennessee Kids and how their set design and music enthrals audiences.
