\n EXCLUSIVE<\/strong>: HBO is teaming with \u201cKnocked Up\u201d creator Judd Apatow to make a two-part documentary on legendary US comedia<\/a>n George Carlin, with UK outfit Rise Films producing alongside Apatow Productions.<\/p>\n

HBO Documentary Films has commissioned Apatow and his longtime collaborator Michael Bonfiglio to direct the films, which will feature interviews with Carlin\u2019s family and friends, material from his stand-up specials and TV app<\/a>earances, as well as material from his personal archive.<\/p>\n

Born in New York City in 1937, Carlin became renowned for his razor-sharp observational comedic style on language, politics, religion and the world. He filmed the first of his 14 HBO stand-up specials in 1977 and appeared on \u201cThe Tonight Show\u201d more than 130 times. As well as filling comedy venues, he also wrote a number of books, which sharpened his credentials as a social critic. Carlin died in 2008 at age 71.<\/p>\n

Apatow has talked about the project previously, though he did not reveal that it had been placed with HBO. He told the Boston Globe in June that he thought Carlin\u2019s work had become \u201cvery prophetic\u201d and that \u201che was looking forward to watching a lot of Carlin interviews and specials.\u201d Apatow said Monday: \u201cIt is an honor to be given the opportunity to tell the story of his life and work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teddy Leifer, executive producer for Rise Films, added: \u201cThe sting of his words is as sharp now as when he was on stage. Carlin is the comedian\u2019s comedian who mastered his craft and shaped American counterculture such that he paved the way for a generation of comics that followed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carlin\u2019s daughter, Kelly Carlin, said she has \u201cdreamt\u201d of finding the right people to tell her father\u2019s story through a documentary that honors his work, while also \u201cnot shying away from his personal struggles and humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n

In bringing together Apatow, Bonfiglio and editor Joe Beshenkovsky, the Carlin project reunites the team behind HBO\u2019s \u201cThe Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling,\u201d which won an Emmy in 2018 for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special. It cements Apatow\u2019s growing reputation as a curator of American comedy.<\/p>\n

Apatow, Leifer, Kelly Carlin and Jerry Hamza are the executive producers. Through his company Rise, Leifer has produced the Oscar-winning Netflix doping documentary \u201cIcarus,\u201d while his other credits include Oscar-nominated \u201cThe Invisible War\u201d and ITV\u2019s Roman comedy \u201cPlebs,\u201d which was in development with Seth Rogen\u2019s Point Grey Pictures.<\/p>\n

Apatow is represented by UTA, Mosaic, and Ziffren Brittenham, while Bonfiglio is repped by 3 Arts Entertainment. Leifer is represented by UTA and SmithDehn.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
