The first fully authorized documentary about Kurt Cobain will air on HBO next year.  Produced with the blessing of Cobain's family, the movie titled "Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck" was written, directed and produced by Oscar nominated filmmaker Brett Morgen, whose works include the films "On the Ropes" and "Crossfire Hurricane."  Morgen was reportedly given unprecedented access to the late Nirvana frontman's personal and family archives.  In pulling it all together he said he discovered more than 200 hours of unreleased music and audio plus hours of never-before-seen home movies and writings. Cobain's daughter Frances Bean Cobain is also credited as an executive producer on the film. This year marked the 20th anniversary of the rocker's suicide death on April 5, 1994.  He was 27 years old.
