William Shatner Doc In Works From Legion M, Exhibit A Pictures
deadline.comLegion M and Exhibit A Pictures are partnering on a new documentary directed by Alexandre O. Philippe (Lynch/Oz), in which screen icon William Shatner takes off the countless masks he’s worn throughout his career, to reveal the man behind one of the most recognizable faces in the world.The 91-year-old Shatner is best known for his legendary role as Star Trek’s Captain Kirk in various film and television projects over the course of 30 years.
He also notably portrayed the titular character in Columbia Pictures Television’s police drama T.J. Hooker and won an Emmy for his role as Boston Legal’s Denny Crane, having notched a total of two wins and seven nominations over the course of his career, along with a Golden Globe and other accolades.The documentary’s producers will be providing an early look at footage during a Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con later this month, with Shatner in attendance for a conversation moderated by filmmaker Kevin Smith (Clerks).
Legion M, which bills itself as the world’s first fan-owned entertainment company, is also presenting fans with the opportunity to invest directly in the project.
