The film, which will be distributed worldwide by Paramount, is still undergoing final editing but is scheduled to hit British and American screens on July 5.
Its release will come just nine days before their divorce becomes official on July 14, following a Los Angeles Superior Court judge's ruling in February.
Brand filed the day before New Year's Eve after 14 months of marriage, during which Katy's career hit new heights while his struggled with the box office flop of his remake of the comedy classic Arthur.
One film insider told the Daily Star Sunday: "Fans are going to be horrified by the off-hand and often insulting way he treated her.
"It's Katy's documentary so the filmmakers have given her a huge licence over what's going to be in and what's going to be out of the final edit.
"But, at the moment, she's determined to let the world see just how mean Russell could be and what sheer hell she went through during a marriage that seems to have been filled with a lot of squabbling and unkind jibes."
In what Hollywood observers sceptically view as an attempt to soften the blow, Brand has been praising his ex recently on US chat shows, telling host Ellen DeGeneres: "I'll always love Katy and we'll always be best friends. I have only love and positivity for her."

Sussex v Surrey evenly poised on Day Three - wscountytimes.co.uk
Sussex have built a slight first innings lead over Surrey after a patient morning session on Day Three at Horsham.
Resuming on 90-6, Luke Wells and Naveed Arif Gondal added 82 runs before lunch in blustery but dry conditions to give Sussex a 48-run lead.
But Arif Gondal was caught on 34 with the last ball before lunch to leave the game right in the balance.
After a slow start Wells brought up his 50 - justifying his selection in place of the dropped Murray Goodwin - and a pull to the rope from the left hander took Sussex beyond their opponent’s 124 first innings score.
Having allowed Wells most of the early strike Arif Gondal took a while to find his first boundary, but the following ball he drove Murali Kartik over long on for Sussex’s first six of the innings.
After losing four wickets in the six overs played yesterday because of the heavy rain, the Sussex pair’s patient approach was much needed, though Surrey found a late breakthrough when Murali Kartik had Arif Gondal caught behind by Gareth Batty with the final ball of the session.
Sussex will resume on 172-7 with Wells edging towards his century, unbeaten on 82 with Steve Magoffin joining him at the crease.
Despite yesterday’s heavy rain the pitch at Cricketfield Road looks immaculate with the ground staff doing an excellent job to get today started on time while a host of other County Championship games are yet to begin.

Sussex v Surrey: Luke Wells weathers the storm to put Sussex on winning course - Daily Telegraph
He batted for just shy of six hours and struck 15 fours and it was a surprise when he was ninth out, caught at the second attempt by wicketkeeper Steven Davies driving at Kartik’s left-arm spin, having completed the fifth hundred of his career.
Wells received good support from the lower order. Naveed Arif and Steve Magoffin both made 34 in stands of 85 and 64 before James Anyon and Monty Panesar unexpectedly secured a fourth batting point in a rollicking last-wicket alliance of 80 in 15 overs.
Anyon’s unbeaten 64 was his career-best, while Panesar struck Kartik for six over long-on, a shot even the chastened bowler, who finished with four wickets, applauded in grudging admiration. It took Sussex past 350, unlikely riches after they had been 87 for six.
Having started the day hopeful of a first-innings lead, Surrey went in 227 runs behind and lost Jason Roy to a catch at cover before stumps.
A difficult day was made worse by the absence of Tom Maynard, who spent it in the dressing room recovering from bruising to his shoulder and collarbone after he was involved in a minor car accident on the Brighton seafront on Thursday night. He is expected to bat on Saturday.

More tickets for Olympics on sale - The Guardian
Thousands of tickets for the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as for athletics, swimming, boxing, table tennis, volleyball and football at Wembley Stadium, were made available through the official Olympic website from 11am.
Prices range from £20 to £720 across the 96 available sessions, while tickets for the two ceremonies start at £995.
All the remaining tickets, both for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, are on sale on a first come, first served basis, and more will be available in coming weeks. As with previous tickets, they can only be bought using a Visa card.
Locog, the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, said more than eight million tickets have now been sold across both games.
But there are still about three million tickets left up for grabs, including more than half a million Olympic tickets, 1.2 million Paralympic tickets and 1.25 million tickets for Olympic football.
Locog commercial director Chris Townsend said: "There are still plenty of ways to join in and be part of London 2012.
"We are at advance stages of venue planning and these represent the final release of ceremonies and other sport tickets.
"Over the next few weeks we will release further tickets for other Olympic sports and keep people informed when tickets are available. We are delighted with ticket sales to date, and have sold another one million tickets in the last four weeks, prioritising people who were unsuccessful last time around."

West Sussex County Council outsources back office to Capita - PC Advisor
West Sussex County Council has chosen Capita as its preferred partner in a 10-year back office outsourcing contract.
Under the contract, worth approximately £154 million in additional revenue, Capita will deliver services including HR, payroll, finance, online service delivery, office services, procurement and pensions administration.
The contract is expected to be signed later this month, with work starting from September.
Sarah Burnett, head of public sector outsourcing at analyst firm NelsonHall, said that the contract would have been highly contested.
"There aren't many of these multi-process contracts coming through. Serco and Arvato would have been competitors and been very disappointed at not winning," she said.
She added: "They haven't said what savings they would have to achieve yet. I expect savings will be a big part of it."
Burnett also believes that the breadth of the services being outsourced will mean a "reasonable level of staff transfer" will occur.
In October 2010, the council brought in Capita to provide IT services as part of a seven-year deal worth an 'initial' £56 million.
At the time, the council said the deal would provide a "flexible and sustainable IT service at significantly lower cost".
Serco already has a desktop management contract with the council, and, through its acquisition of The Listening Company, a contract for West Sussex's contact centre.
"Capita will have to work with them," said Burnett.
