\n\tBen Stiller<\/a> is sharing an update on his forthcoming New York Knicks<\/a> documentary<\/a>, and after the team\u2019s historic championship earlier this year, he knows \u201cthe pressure is on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile premiering his next film, Focker-in-Law, slated for a Thanksgiving release, on Wednesday night in New York, Stiller teased the documentary to The Hollywood Reporter, describing it as a multi-part project exploring the Knicks\u2019 history.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a multi-part documentary about the history of the Knicks, including this team. It\u2019s about what they\u2019ve been to New York and hopefully capture the spirit of the team,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s been fun to work on so far,\u201d Stiller added, acknowledging the high expectations surrounding the project, especially after the Knicks won their first NBA<\/a> championship since 1973 on June 13. The documentary was announced shortly afterward<\/a>, with Stiller directing the project and following the team\u2019s full arc from the \u201990s to its record-breaking championship run this year.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI feel like Knicks fans really love the Knicks, so the pressure is on to make something that lives up to what they want, but I hope it does,\u201d Stiller said.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for where the project currently stands, Stiller said it is \u201cin the beginning stages since the playoffs,\u201d adding, \u201cbut it\u2019s not gonna be long. We\u2019re full on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tStiller, who was born and raised in New York City, has been a lifelong Knicks fan, dating back to his childhood in the early 1970s. He\u2019s also a staple star to sit courtside at games<\/a>, alongside other celebrity fans including Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, Spike Lee, Tracy Morgan, Tina Fey and more. <\/p>\n

\n\tWhen asked if any of those superfans, specifically Chalamet, would appear in the documentary, Stiller said, \u201cYeah, there definitely are Knicks fans, both known and not known Knicks fans, because I love the community, fans in New York, all over New York, such a huge part of what it means to love the Knicks. So that community is really strong.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSpeculation that Stiller is working on a documentary about the NBA team grew after he was spotted filming content during the Knicks\u2019 2026 Finals run.<\/p>\n

\n\tImmediately after Game 5 of the 2026 NBA Finals<\/a>, cameras caught up with Stiller, and the Severance executive producer said he was \u201cas happy as I\u2019ve ever felt.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tStiller joked with THR that he would check the score of the Knicks\u2019 Wednesday night game against the Cleveland Cavaliers \u201cright after\u201d finishing interviews at the Focker-in-Law premiere and \u201cperiodically\u201d throughout the film\u2019s screening following the red carpet<\/a>. However, the Knicks lost 115-107. Following the loss, Stiller wrote on X, \u201cWhat happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Knicks are set to face the Indiana Pacers on Friday night in Indianapolis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ben Stiller is sharing an update on his forthcoming New York Knicks documentary, and after the team\u2019s historic…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":963752,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[29193,64,63,79539,13958,1691,134,3172,9054,12845,344,590,1666,31053,85],"class_list":["post-963751","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-a24","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-ben-stiller","tag-documentaries","tag-documentary","tag-entertainment","tag-events","tag-hbo","tag-knicks","tag-movies","tag-nba","tag-new-york-knicks","tag-red-carpet","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/963751","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=963751"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/963751\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/963752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=963751"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=963751"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=963751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
