Ben Stiller Confirms He Is Archiving Courtside Knicks Footage for a Project

Outlets say Page Six has a source claiming HBO will distribute the material, a report that Stiller and HBO have not officially confirmed.

Overview

  • Stiller told ESPN’s pregame panel that “there’s a project in the works” and that much of the footage he shoots courtside on his iPhone is being archived for that project.
  • Multiple outlets cite a Page Six showbiz source reporting the work is an HBO documentary, but neither Stiller nor HBO has publicly verified that specific distributor claim.
  • Stiller has posted cinematic, viral clips from celebrity-row seats at Madison Square Garden, including footage from the Knicks’ record comeback in Game 4 that would be attractive documentary material.
  • He said he does not hold season tickets and described celebrity courtside access as provided by the team, which helps explain how he has collected close-up and behind-the-scenes moments.
  • Stiller’s prior documentary credits and recent special access at MSG give the project real plausibility, and the next developments to watch are any official announcement of a distributor, format, or release plan.
