More than 20 years after his death, we’re still hearing music created by Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain for the very first time.

HBO has announced that its upcoming documentary Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck will feature “previously unheard originals” from Cobain when it premieres May 4. Directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Brett Morgen (The Kid Stays in the Picture, Crossfire Hurricane), the film will also feature never-before-seen home movies, recordings, artwork, and various other media that will certainly pique the interest of the deceased musician’s fans.

The documentary is being billed as “the first fully-authorized documentary about the iconic leader of Nirvana” due to the access Cobain’s family gave to Morgen for the film. The film’s title, Montage of Heck, comes from a widely circulated mixtape created by Cobain that made the online rounds last year.

Cobain’s daughter, visual artist Frances Bean Cobain, serves as executive producer on the film.

3 Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend (May 3-5)

The cast of That Thing You Do!

The first weekend in May has arrived, and Hulu fans should be happy to hear that there's a new lineup of movies to enjoy. Like most of the major streamers, Hulu debuts the majority of its library additions on the first of the month. But there will more movies released on Hulu throughout May.

Since the first weekend of May is traditionally timed around the opening of a superhero movie, our first choice this weekend is a comic book film that's celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Our other two picks include Tom Hanks' directorial debut, and a generation-spanning drama that holds up three decades after its release.
