A new Kurt Cobain documentary entitled Montage of Heck, and produced by daughter Frances Bean, is due for release in 2015.
The fully authorised piece, which has been in the works for years, is produced by daughter Frances Bean and will premiere on HBO. It is named after a mixtape by the Nirvana singer that surfaced online earlier this month, which features the sounds of flushing toilets, Jimi Hendrix, Black Sabbath and extremely rare cuts of music.
"I started work on this project eight years ago," said director Brett Morgen in a press release. "Like most people, when I started, I figured there would be limited amounts of fresh material to unearth."

"Once I stepped into Kurt's archive, I discovered over 200 hours of unreleased music and audio, a vast array of art projects (oil paintings, sculptures), countless hours of never-before-seen home movies, and over 4000 pages of writings that together help paint an intimate portrait of an artist who rarely revealed himself to the media."
Considering the propensity for sensationalist, conspiracy theory rich Nirvana films like Soaked In Bleach, this factual archive based approach will be welcome.
