NEW YORK -- Filmmaker Martin Scorsese is making a documentary on Bill Clinton for HBO.

HBO announced Monday that Scorsese is producing and directing the film, with Clinton's co-operation. The network did not announce an anticipated air date for the show on the nation's 42nd president, who was in office from 1993 to 2001.

Earlier this year HBO aired a documentary on Clinton's immediate predecessor, George H.W. Bush.

Scorsese has earlier made the documentaries "Public Speaking" and "George Harrison: Living in the Material World" for HBO.
