Filmmaker Brett Morgen, who directed the Rolling Stones documentary 'Crossfire Hurricane', has said that he is teaming up with Courtney Love to make a documentary about Nirvana's frontman, Kurt Cobain.

Morgen revealed the pair have been talking about it since 2007, and plan to release the film in 2014.

The director told the NY post this week: "Courtney is the one that brought me into this. We've been trying to find the right time to put this film together and the time is now… Kurt was not only an amazing songwriter and musician, he was an incredible artist and filmmaker. So we are going to do the movie sort of like a third-person autobiography — [as] if Kurt was around and making a film about his life."

This follows Love's denial that a broadway musical on Cobain was in the pipeline. Cobain's ex-wife told The Observer: "there will be no musical" as "sometimes it's best just to leave things alone".

Love has yet to comment.
