A&E PREMIERES ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY SPECIAL "STUDIO 54" ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11 AT 10PM ET/PT

"Studio 54" Raises the Velvet Rope to the Legendary Late Night Hot Spot and Features the First In-Depth Interview with Ian Schrager Speaking About the Club

Directed by Matt Tyrnauer, Film Presented by A&E IndieFilms and Produced by Altimeter Films and Passion Pictures

New York, NY - January 22, 2019 - A&E will premiere the original documentary special, "Studio 54," on Monday, February 11 at 10pm ET/PT. Directed by Matt Tyrnauer ("Valentino: The Last Emperor") and presented by A&E IndieFilms, the film was produced by Altimeter Films. "Studio 54" premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival and played at a number of film festivals, including the Tribeca Film Festival, AFI Docs, Provincetown Film Festival, and Outfest.

For 33 months, from 1978 to 1980, Studio 54 was the place to be seen in Manhattan. A haven of hedonism, tolerance, glitz and glamour, Studio was nearly impossible to get into and socially impossible to ignore, with news of who was there filling the gossip columns daily. Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, two college friends from Brooklyn, succeeded in creating the ultimate escapist fantasy in the heart of the theater district. Rubell was the outgoing bon vivant who wanted to be everybody's friend and was photographed with every celebrity du jour who entered the club and Schrager was the behind-the-scenes creative mastermind who shunned the limelight. Studio 54 was an instant success and a cash cow, but the dream soon imploded in financial scandal and the club's demise.

With unprecedented access to Schrager, who tells the whole unvarnished story for the first time, and a treasure-trove of intimate photos and newly discovered footage, director Tyrnauer constructs a vivid, glorious portrait of a disco-era phenomenon, and tells the story of two friends whose mutual desire for success took them to the heights of New York fame, and then to prison when they became intoxicated by their own success. Schrager opens up in a wide-ranging interview for the documentary camera and talks about both the heady and the difficult times.

"Studio 54" was produced by Altimeter Films and Passion Pictures. John Battsek, p.g.a and Corey Reeser, p.g.a. are producers; Robert Sharenow, Elaine Frontain Bryant and Molly Thompson are executive producers for A&E.
