Showtime will get the premiere window of a new documentary about the long-delayed completion of the Brian Wilson album Smile. Scheduled to air Oct. 5, Beautiful Dreamer: Brian Wilson and the Story of 'Smile' chronicles the former Beach Boys frontman's masterwork from its aborted undertaking 37 years ago to its resumption in February, including a London concert performance. " 'Smile' is among history's great unfinished works, and this extraordinary documentary will explain why," said Showtime entertainment president Robert Greenblatt said. "Music fans, as well as the average viewer, will all be able to relate to the story of this remarkable record's birth, demise and triumphant return to life." LSL Prods. (The 100 Greatest Television Characters of All Time) will produce Dreamer in association with Chautauqua Entertainment (Coast to Coast). LSL's David Leaf, Steve Ligerman and John Scheinfeld and Chautauqua's Richard Waltzer will executive produce, with Leaf directing. The documentary includes interviews with Wilson, Van Dyke Parks, Carol Kaye and Hal Blaine.
