The first official trailer for Stardust, the upcoming film about the early career of late music icon David Bowie, is here. Starring actor Johnny Flynn in the lead role, the film follows the story of a then 24-year-old Bowie's first U.S. promotional tour and the events that lead up to the creation of his alter ego, Ziggy Stardust. The film also stars Marc Maron as Mercury Records publicist Ron Oberman.

"Meet David before Bowie. One of the greatest icons in music history. But who was the young man behind the many faces," reads the official synopsis from IFC Films. "In 1971, a 24-year-old David Bowie embarks on his first road trip to America with Mercury Records publicist Ron Oberman, only to be met with a world not yet ready for him."

Stardust saw a virtual premiere during the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year and is set for both a theatrical and VOD platform release on November 25.
