CNN Films and HBO Max are executive producers for the film.<\/p>\n<p>Cort\u00e9s said: \u201cI am delighted to give Little Richard the royal treatment he so deserves. This magnificent rock and roll icon changed the world for all of us\u2014Black and white, straight and gay, everyday people and stars. His story is the history of rock and roll: musical genius mixed with the sheer audacity to morph and change at will, seeking permission from no one. The film is called <em>I Am Everything<\/em> because that was Little Richard\u2019s triumph: transcending all categories and expectations to be everything he dreamed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Courtney Sexton, senior VP of CNN Films, said: \u201cWe are also delighted to partner with <em>Rolling Stone<\/em> and HBO Max to present the rich, full history of Little Richard. This film will finally fully showcase the enduring influence of his gifts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amy Entelis, executive VP for talent and content development, added: \u201cLittle Richard\u2019s genius has been obscured and underappreciated for too long. We\u2019re excited to celebrate his massively consequential contributions to music and culture through the lens of director Lisa Cort\u00e9s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Friedman, producer and CEO for Bungalow Media + Entertainment, commented: \u201cLittle Richard\u2019s career is one of the most fascinating and important stories in music and pop culture history. The film will unspool Richard\u2019s incalculable influence on music history, at long last giving him his rightful place on the rock and roll throne.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN Films and HBO Max have commissioned Little Richard: I Am Everything (w.t.), a new documentary about the genre-defying artist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":18109,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[3740,4158,6208],"class_list":["post-18108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-cnn-films","tag-hbo-max","tag-little-richard-i-am-everything","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>CNN Films &amp; HBO Max Commission Little Richard Doc - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/cnn-films-hbo-max-commission-little-richard-doc\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"CNN Films &amp; HBO Max Commission Little Richard Doc - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"CNN Films and HBO Max have commissioned Little Richard: I Am Everything (w.t.), a new documentary about the genre-defying artist.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/cnn-films-hbo-max-commission-little-richard-doc\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-05-17T14:36:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-05-17T16:58:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/little-richard-hbo-max-cnn-0522.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"364\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/cnn-films-hbo-max-commission-little-richard-doc\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/cnn-films-hbo-max-commission-little-richard-doc\/\",\"name\":\"CNN Films &amp; HBO Max Commission Little Richard Doc - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-05-17T14:36:18+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-05-17T16:58:28+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/cnn-films-hbo-max-commission-little-richard-doc\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/cnn-films-hbo-max-commission-little-richard-doc\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/cnn-films-hbo-max-commission-little-richard-doc\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"CNN Films &amp; HBO Max Commission Little Richard Doc\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
