I was hoping they would do limited theatrical run like Love & Mercy, but I don't think that will happen. At the very least i hope they have a blu ray or streaming release because if it's a Netflix exclusive, count me out.

Great to see some news on this, i think there might be something in ESQ.

I'm looking forward to the soundtrack album, which I think will be a little like the IJWMFTT soundtrack in ways.

Finally I'll get to hear Brian's take on "Honeycomb"

Any further details on this version of "Honeycomb"? I know it's a song Brian has been tinkering with for many years.

Honeycomb was first kicking around when the Spring album came out, iirc. I think Brian talked about it in an interview with Richard Williams in Melody Maker (or was it New Musical Express?) at that time.  Around that time, there was also mention that Spring was hoping to have Jackie DeShannon produce their next project.

Brian and Mike also sang a short snippet of it during an interview while on tour in 2012 iirc. It seemed that both of them really like that song.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

yeah, the interview is on YouTube, Brian starts to sing the song as part of a planned new tune/cover he had in mind, he also performed the song live in 2015 as an intro to I'm Broke

There definitely seems to be a Spring version

“Honeycomb” – A cover of the old Jimmy Rodger's song was cut in October '74 with Marilyn on vocals. It features Roy Wood of ELO and Wizzard on the backing track. (Wood also played on the Beach Boys' “It's OK” from the same session.) The former Mrs. Wilson retains the masters to the Spring album, as well as a number of other Brian Wilson tapes from the period.

I, albeit vaguely, recall that being said at some stage in the early press around the dock. That may have changed, but when the movie is shown in a couple of months I guess we'll know.

In the YouTube page,

Look at the first comment!

It's not just me. I don't know who Bob is but . . . we remember the same thing.

Oh, and, how could there possibly not be a soundtrack?

Depending on whether they were planning to play this at festivals to attract a distributor (as they did with "Love & Mercy" in 2014), or whether they already had/have a distributor, that might tell us whether we're in for just a regular long wait or a super long wait on this doc.

If they already have a distributor, they might see fit to push this sooner to VOD and/or a streaming service (and then home video), because the backlog that's already forming right now due to postponements for both huge tentpole movies and indies at film festivals is such that I don't know how many smaller productions like this are going to wait out another year potentially where, in some cases, they'll only be drumming up a small amount on the indie box office circuit.

My best guess is that there will be a crush of material originally earmarked for festivals that will be snapped up for streaming services over the next 3-6 weeks. If 50% of the festivals affected by COVID-19 eventually wind up sitting it out (i.e., cancel) in 2020, that's a lot of material that's suddenly been orphaned and may have to bypass theatrical distribution as a result.

So it's possible that around the first of May there may be a new status announcement about many films in this situation--and one of them could be LONG PROMISED ROAD.

Don’t know about the money side of things but with so many leisure activities now not an option, the thought of binge watching this and any number of delayed releases from the safety of my own home is actually quite appealing. Every cloud...

Thanks for the heads-up.  His twitter blurb links to his Apple Music radio show (episode  #238) where he briefly discusses the documentary... at around 25:00 in, he says:
He saw the film a couple nights ago.
It shows above all else what a musical genius BW is.
BW is very honest in the film. Elton has never seen BW open up like this.
When it comes out, go see it.
He then plays the original recordings of Do It Again & In My Room.
He says that Bruce Springsteen is in the documentary and of course was influenced by the Beach Boys.  He then segues into Bruce's "Hungry Heart" for which he claims BB influence (though in my opinion, it's more the opposite with HH having been so blatantly cribbed for "Getcha Back").

There's a scene in the recent Elton John film Rocketman where Elton is offered a chance to meet 'half the beach boys'... shame they didn't show any!

In the ‘70s, Elton would’ve at least have met Carl since he did the background vocals on ‘Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me’. I wouldn’t be surprised if Elton had met a few others then. Probably not Brian though.

I would imagine he hung out with them here:
