Monjack was known as an English screenwriter, film director, film producer and make-up artist prior to his death.
Like Murphy, he made headlines following his unexpected death at the age of 40.
Over the years, Monjack had written the films Factory Girl and Two Day, Nine Lives.
“He was a disturbed individual who was used to conning people and Brittany was one of his last victims,” director Cynthia Hill said via People. “There was a pattern of behavior that became very obvious the more research that we did.”
The documentary also features appearances from Monjack’s mother, Linda, and brother, James along with his former fiancée Elizabeth Ragsdale, who claims he lied to her about his identity.
The documentary also reveals that Monjack “conned” the actress right before her sudden death.
