On Wednesday morning's episode of Good Morning America, the morning show shared an exclusive first look at the upcoming film Judy starring Renée Zellweger.

In the clip, Zellweger talks about the impact and legacy of Judy Garland while scenes from the movie are shown. Watch the first look below!

The film takes place in Winter 1968 and showbiz legend Judy Garland arrives in Swinging London to perform a five-week sold-out run at THE TALK of the Town. It is 30 years since she shot to global stardom in The Wizard of Oz, but if her voice has weakened, its dramatic intensity has only grown. As she prepares for the show, battles with management, charms musicians and reminisces with friends and adoring fans, her wit and warmth shine through. Even her dreams of love seem undimmed as she embarks on a whirlwind romance with Mickey Deans, her soon-to-be fifth husband. Featuring some of her best-known songs, the film celebrates the voice, the capacity for love, and the sheer pizzazz of "the world's greatest entertainer."

Directed by Rupert Goold, JUDY also stars Jessie Buckley, Finn Wittrock, Rufus Sewell, and Michael Gambon.

Roadside Attractions and LD Entertainment will release JUDY in theaters September 27, 2019.
