\nMercury Studios<\/strong> will release “Have You Got It Yet? The Story of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd” in U.K. theaters May 15. It will open in the U.S. and Canada in late-June.<\/p>\n

The feature length documentary is directed by Roddy Bogawa<\/strong> and the late Pink Floyd sleeve designer Storm Thorgerson<\/strong>. The two collaborated on Bogawa’s “Taken By Storm” (2011) about Thorgerson and the Hipgnosis<\/strong> design team.<\/p>\n

Narrated by actor Jason Isaacs<\/strong>, the film also features surviving band members Nick Mason<\/strong>, Roger Waters<\/strong> and David Gilmour<\/strong>; original band managers Peter Jenner<\/strong> and Andrew King<\/strong>; as well as The Who<\/strong>\u2019s Pete Townshend<\/strong> and Blur<\/strong>\u2019s Graham Coxon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Producer Orian Williams<\/strong> says, “The music of Pink Floyd bears witness to Syd Barrett\u2019s exceptional talent and inner turmoil. Their unconventional approach and ground-breaking sound expanded the horizons of music. Friends, family, bandmates and admirers shed light on all aspects of Syd\u2019s enigmatic life in our film.”<\/p>\n

The film takes it title from a lost Floyd track: Legend has it Barrett tried to teach his bandmates a new song he’d written, while intentionally changing the tune each time he played it for them, asking “Have you got it yet?”<\/p>\n
