Montage of Heck is an authorized documentary about Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain. Frances Bean Cobain, Cobain's daughter with Courtney Love, is an executive producer of the film. It airs May 4 on HBO and premiered last night at Sundance Film Festival. While the film features interviews with most of the people you'd expect (Love, his parents, Krist Novoselic), Dave Grohl was notably absent, Billboard reports. As the director explained at the premiere, that may not be the case for future edits of the film.

Director Brett Morgen clarified that Grohl was interviewed for the documentary earlier this month, but it happened too late to make the cut on the version of the film that premiered at Sundance. "We had a locked print and trying to re-edit a film with a new interview in 10 days is kind of difficult," he said at the premiere. "This is the picture I wanted—I didn't want there to be a lot of people in the film. I hope we'll see a version [with Grohl's interview] sometime."
