VANCOUVER, Nov. 29, 2018 /CNW/ - Network Media Group
Inc. (TSX: NTE.V) (OTCMKTS: NMGGF)
and Network Entertainment Inc. ("Network" or
"the Company") founder and Chief Executive Officer,
Derik Murray, is pleased to announce
the U.S. digital release of Network's full feature length
documentary I Am Paul Walker on Friday, November 30.
"The full length documentary film will now be available for
purchase, rental and viewing throughout the U.S. on multiple
platforms including iTunes, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Turner
Classic Movies, and Barnes & Noble," says Executive Producer
Derik Murray. "We are looking forward to a successful launch
and wide-reaching fan engagement over the holidays and beyond."
This digital release is the first time the full feature length
documentary will be available for fans to view and they can now own
or rent on Digital Download platforms across the U.S. on
November 30, and/or purchase the DVD
of the film, available on December
4.
I Am Paul Walker made its U.S. television premiere on
Paramount Network earlier this year on August 11.
"We are thrilled that Paul's story will be shared even further
with his fans – those he was always very grateful to," said
Caleb Walker. "The timing of
the documentary's digital launch on November
30, the fifth anniversary of Paul's passing, is a fitting
tribute to his legacy."
The film, directed by Adrian
Buitenhuis, explores the life and legacy of actor
Paul Walker, the Southern California native who cut his teeth
as a child actor before breaking out in the blockbuster Fast
& Furious movie franchise. Featuring interviews with
those who knew Paul best both professionally and personally, along
with an extensive personal archive of never-before-seen candid
video and still photographs provided by family and friends of the
late actor, I Am Paul Walker explores Paul's private side in
tandem with the highlights of his highly successful film career.
His devotion to his family, his passion for surfing and auto
racing, his commitment to marine biology and sharks, his dedication
to humanitarian work through his NGO, Reach Out Worldwide, and his
love for his family define the character of the man who starred in
Fast & Furious, one of the most wildly successful film
franchises of all time.
