Steve Martin is one of the most well-known and beloved figures in comedy. Between his stand-up comedy and his acting roles, the man’s done a lot in his 78 years. So now, he’s telling his story.
It comes in the form of a new two-part documentary, quite literally titled “Steve! (martin) a documentary in 2 pieces.” Directed and produced by Academy Award winner Morgan Neville (“20 Feet from Stardom,” “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?”), the documentary from A24 and Tremolo Productions, details Martin’s rise to fame, and how he’s handled it all.
You’ll also see some familiar faces aside from Martin, as Finn Wittrock, Martin Short, Tina Fey, Jerry Seinfeld, Eric Idle, Diane Keaton and Selena Gomez all appear in the films.
