The moment that millions upon millions of Kurt Cobain and Nirvana fans have been waiting for is almost here, that being the public airing of the forthcoming official HBO documentary on the late grunge icon, Montage Of Heck, and to pique Cobain obsessors arousal, the first trailer has been released.
The trailer for the film executively co-produced by Cobain’s daughter, Frances Bean and directed by Brett Morgen popped-up overnight which was picked up by Billboard (via The Hollywood Reporter).
The first taste of Cobain: Montage of Heck runs for exactly two and-a-half minutes, at long-last giving viewers an inside glimpse of what to expect from the already universally revered visual document of one of music’s most celebrated and dearly missed characters.

From the moment the chilling xylophone beats the tune of ‘All Apologies’ and an extremely young Cobain questions ‘who are you?’ before innocently responding ‘I’m Kurt Cobain’ as video displays him blowing out his “2” birthday candles, one can feels certain that this is going to be a harrowing and beautifully created piece on the Nirvana frontman’s life.
As we know you’re all hanging out for this, we aren’t going to give any more spoilers away, grab some popcorn and watch the exclusive trailer below one hundred times and remember, May 4 is not that far away:

Montage Of Heck will feature “dozens of Nirvana songs and performances as well as perviously unheard Cobain originals,” as well a “no-holds-barred access to Kurt Cobain’s archives, home to his never-before-seen home movies, recordings, artwork, photography, journals, demos, personal archives, family archives and songbooks.”
On the creation of the upcoming feature, Morgen commented, “I started work on this project eight years ago. Like most people, when I started, I figured there would be limited amounts of fresh material to unearth. However, 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.”

Earlier this week there was a large dispute over an unreleased “Nirvana track” that surfaced online that was allegedly hacked from Courtney Love’s personal computer, and Kurt-mania also reached fever-pitch as Morgen revealed that the doco would feature a real unheard song of Kurt’s, an epic cover of The Beatles.
From the trailer to the continued rave reviews from international film festivals, it looks like we may finally have the honest and perfectly pieced together Kurt Cobain documentary the world has so desperately sought for nearly 20 years.
