Netflix releases documentary trailer

Netflix has released a trailer for Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond, as it announces a global release date of November 17.

The film reveals the extent to which Jim Carrey inhabited the freewheeling anarchic persona of Andy Kaufman for the 1999 biopic Man On The Moon.

Director Chris Smith’s documentary draws on 100 hours of footage shot on the set over four months by Kaufman's former girlfriend, Lynne Margulies and former writing partner, Bob Zmuda.

That video has been suppressed until now, with Carrey saying: 'Universal didn't want the footage we took behind the scenes to surface so people didn't think I was an arsehole...

'I was thinking how far should I take this? How far would Andy take this?'
