The film, titled 'Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck', is being shepherded by co-producers HBO Documentary Films and Universal Pictures International Entertainment Content Group, said The Hollywood Reporter.
Universal will roll out the film internationally in theatres next year.
Oscar-nominated director Brett Morgen, who previously tackled the Rolling Stones for HBO with the documentary 'Crossfire Hurricane', is helming the film, eight years in the making.
Visual artist Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of the late Nirvana singer, guitarist and songwriter, is executive producing.
"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.
'Montage of Heck' marks the first documentary to be made with the cooperation of Cobain's family.
The film features dozens of Nirvana songs and performances, as well as previously unheard Cobain originals.
The film is being made in association with Public Road Productions and The End of Music. Morgen is producing alongside Danielle Renfrew Behrens.
