A documentary on late comic Norm Macdonald is within the works at Netflix from filmmaker Judd Apatow.
Apatow first make clear the venture through his Instagram, the place he made an open name for “pictures and movies of Norm Macdonald for a documentary we’re creating for @netflix.”
“Should you simply learn about any interviews or fascinating movies you assume we might not have heard about or have the ability to discover ourselves— that may even be very useful,” Apatow wrote. “Or simply inform us your favourite Norm moments.” Apatow himself will direct the venture, Consequence can verify.
Macdonald handed away in September 2021 on the age of 61. Upon his demise, Apatow wrote on social media, “Nobody was funnier than Norm Macdonald. Each time he was on tv he was the funniest individual on tv. An enormous loss.” Along with sharing a circle of mates and collaborators, Macdonald made transient appearances as himself in two of Apatow’s initiatives: an episode of The Larry Sanders Present and the movie Humorous Folks.
Apatow beforehand helmed documentaries on Garry Shandling and George Carlin, each of which received Primetime Emmy Awards for Excellent Documentary.
