“Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck” will be directed by Brett Morgen, the Oscar-nominated filmmaker of 1999 boxing documentary “On the Ropes,” and will focus on the rocker’s life through the lens of home movies, journals and previously unheard music.
Cobain committed suicide at age 27 in 1994. His heavily distorted brand of rock music that touched on themes like social alienation became a touchstone of 1990s Generation X and sparked the grunge-rock movement centered in Seattle.
The film will also be produced by Universal Pictures International Entertainment Content Group. Cobain’s daughter Frances Bean Cobain will also serve as an executive producer.
