EXCLUSIVE: HBO is teaming with Knocked Up creator Judd Apatow to make a two-part documentary on legendary U.S. comedian George Carlin, with UK outfit Rise Films producing alongside Apatow Productio…
HBO Documentary Films has commissioned Apatow and his longtime collaborator Michael Bonfiglio to direct the films, which will feature interviews with Carlin’s family and friends, material from his standup specials and TV appearances, as well as material from his personal archive.
Apatow has talked about the project previously, although he did not reveal that it had been placed with HBO. He told the Boston Globe in June that he thought Carlin’s work had become “very prophetic” and that “he was looking forward to watching a lot of Carlin interviews and specials.” Apatow said today: “It is an honor to be given the opportunity to tell the story of his life and work.”
Carlin’s daughter, Kelly Carlin, said she has “dreamt” of finding the right people to tell her father’s story through a documentary that honors his work, while also “not shying away from his personal struggles and humanity.”
