As you watch the trailer for the upcoming documentary “I Am Paul Walker,” there’s one thing that everyone seems to agree with about the late actor — he lived life fast. This is particularly interesting considering many people know him from the half-dozen “Fast and Furious” films he starred in. But as you see in the exclusive new trailer, there’s much more to Walker than just his fast cars.
“I Am Paul Walker” is the upcoming documentary that features all those people closest to the actor, including friends, family, and his co-stars, as they discuss the life and career of Walker. There’s early home video footage, showing that the actor still had the charm and charisma, even at a young age, with his friends and family explaining how he wasn’t just the movie star that everyone remembers. And in honor of the film’s upcoming release, we’re able to bring you an exclusive clip from the film, as well as the brand-new trailer.
The exclusive clip from the film features “The Fast and Furious” director Rob Cohen discussing how he got Walker to agree to the role, which would, of course, go on to define his career. Apparently, all Cohen had to do was appeal to the actor’s interests, which included fast cars, pretty women, playing an undercover police officer, and lots of action.
“I Am Paul Walker” is directed by Adrian Buitenhuis. The director is probably best known for his similarly structured documentary about the late actor Heath Ledger, appropriately titled “I Am Heath Ledger.”
An abridged version of the documentary aired earlier this year on Paramount Network, but the full version of the film will be released on VOD on November 30.
