Louis Theroux's Scientology Documentary Finally Has A Release Date

Louis Theroux's Scientology Documentary Finally Has A Release Date

Can't wait for this.

Louis Theroux never fails to deliver outstanding documentary one after another, but one film in particular that we've all been waiting for is the hotly anticipated My Scientology Movie.

The film debuted at last year's London Film Festival, but no official release date came with it and we were all left wondering whether we'd ever see it in cinemas.

However, the film's director John Dower managed to acquire UK distribution after the Tribeca Film Festival last month.

And now Theroux himself has taken to Twitter to reveal, to Ellie Goulding weirdly enough, a rough date that we can expect it on the big screen.

"More than 10 years ago, I approached the church to see if they might let me in to make a documentary," Theroux said in a statement.

"I thought I might be able to bring a sense of nuance and perspective to people's understanding of a faith that has been much ridiculed. Just as I have done with other non-mainstream stories, I hoped to see it from the inside and make a human connection with its clerics and congregants. But I was repeatedly turned down."

My Scientology Movie will hit cinemas this Autumn.

We can't wait.
