Netflix has announced the impending arrival of a new documentary series entitled ReMastered. The 8-part production, set for a global launch on December 7, is described as an investigation of "high-profile events affecting some of the most legendary names in music, presenting groundbreaking discoveries and insights beyond what’s been previously reported."
The first trailer of the series deals with one of Hip Hop's most iconic DJs, Jam Master Jay from Run-D.M.C.. It shows clips of his loved ones and associates commenting on his unsolved murder. One man could be heard saying that the witnesses were either "scared or hiding something." The artist was gunned down in Jamaica, Queens, during a studio session. Although people were present at the time of his murder, the investigation bore no tangible results for lack of evidence caused by odd circumstances, including tampered security cameras.
Watch the first teaser below.
ReMastered is directed by a slew of qualified creators Brian Oakes, Kief Davidson, Barbara Kopple, Sara Dosa, Brian Oakes, Stuart Sender, B.J. Perlmutt, Kelly Duane de la Vega and Sam Cullman. The project is helmed by the award-winning brothers, Jeff Zimbalist and Michael Zimbalist. The documentary is set to recant the untold stories of other critically-acclaimed artists like Bob Marley, Johnny Cash, Jam Master Jay, Sam Cooke.
