    As with most things relating to her late husband Kurt Cobain, it was expected that Courtney Love would have some level of input and creative control over the recently announced Cobain HBO documentary "Montage of Heck." But according to "The Hollywood Reporter," Love has reportedly been given no creative control into the project, despite the fact that the film was her idea in the first place."She gave me the keys to this kingdom and final cut of the film," says the film's director Brett Morgan, whom Love first contacted in 2007 to create a documentary about the legendary Nirvana frontman.Though he has not been working with Love on the project, Morgan has instead been working with Love and Cobain's daughter Frances Bean Cobain, who is serving as executive producer. Frances Bean was just 20 months old when her famous father committed suicide in April 1994, and she believes that giving her mother any sort of control over the project would be inappropriate, as she is such an integral part to the story of Cobain's life."At a certain point, I started working more closely with [Frances Bean]," Morgan says. "We [all] agreed that because Courtney was a subject in the film, it would be best if she wasn't given editorial control."
