Watch: First Trailer for Judy Garland Biopic 'Judy,' with Renée Zellweger, Arrives

The first footage of the highly anticipated Judy Garland biopic "Judy" is finally here.

Oscar winner Ren�e Zellweger is playing the iconic singer and actor in the upcoming film directed by Rupert Goold and based on the Tony nominated Broadway play "End of the Rainbow."

"Judy" is set in the late '60s, during the last years of Garland's life, when she arrives in London for a number of sold-out shows at the Talk of the Town club (now renamed the Hippodrome). Zellweger recently opened up about portraying the "Wizard of Oz" star.

"When there's a better understanding of what it takes for a person to continue under certain circumstances there is a level of empathy and respect that you can't help but feel," she told People magazine. "What she had to overcome in a time when women didn't necessarily feel that they had power over their own lives in the way that we do today. That stayed with me and I hope folks will be moved by that as well."

"Judy" also stars Finn Wittrock, Rufus Sewell, Michael Gambon, Jessie Buckley, Gemma-Leah Devereux and more.

Last year, Liza Minelli, Garland's daughter, made headlines when she took to Facebook to say that she doesn't "approve nor sanction the upcoming film about Judy Garland in any way."

Garland died in 1969 from an accidental drug overdose at age 47.

"Judy" hits theaters on Sept. 27. Watch the trailer below.
