The Yony Leyser-directed picture, titled William S. Burroughs: A Man Within, will feature never-before-seen archival footage of the Junkie author, reports IndieWire.
The project will also include interviews with musicians including Patti Smith, Iggy Pop and Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore.
Director David Cronenberg and actor Peter Weller, who collaborated for a 1991 film adaptation of Burroughs's novel Naked Lunch, further make interview appearances.
Yauch's company Oscilloscope will release the movie in US cinemas this fall, followed by a DVD release and a TV premiere on PBS's Independent Lens series.
