Martin Short documentary in the works. The Father of the Bride star revealed to SmartLess podcast co-hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes that a documentary about his life and career is in the works. "There's going to be one. Lawrence Kasdan, the legendary director, is doing it for Imagine (Entertainment).” Lawrence Kasdan co-wrote multiple Star Wars films, while the comedian was previously the subject of a five-minute documentary titled Who Is the Real Martin Short? back in 2017. "They're just accumulating stuff at this point.” The 74-year-old appeared on the podcast with his longtime friend, collaborator and Only Murders in the Building co-star Steve Martin. Steve was the subject of Steve! (Martin): A Documentary in 2 Pieces, which aired on Apple TV+ in March. The Only Murders actor opened up about collaborating with documentary filmmaker Morgan Neville on the project. "When you do a documentary, you have to open up, first of all, your archives. So they prowled through my archives for months and months and months and found things.” "They found a photo of my father in Germany in 1943 doing a USO show.” The Cheaper by the Dozen star noted that he didn't properly archive his keepsakes and had been "saving all the wrong stuff" instead of holding onto photos.
