If you’ve ever wanted to find out more about the life of skateboarding legend Tony Hawk, your wait is over. A documentary about the icon is making its way to theaters next year. Variety revealed the world-famous skater would be the focus of an upcoming documentary by director Sam Jones.
“We have already shot everything for it; it’s just in the editing process,” Hawk reveals to Variety. “I definitely wanted to give them as much footage and interview as possible.”

Pretending I’m A Superman, a documentary about Hawk’s video games, came out in September of last year. So, this makes the Jones documentary the first to focus on his life and career.
Though this is Jones’ first film about Hawk, it isn’t the first time they have collaborated. In 2013, and a few times since, Hawk was a guest on Off Camera with Sam Jones, the director’s interview-format TV series.
Though Hawk officially retired from the now-Olympic sport, he continues to be a pop culture mainstay. Just last year he competed on the popular show The Masked Singer. And he’s kind of a big deal in the video game world. He has 21 self-titled video games at Activision.
Also, he’s consistently proving how humble he is. Have you seen his tweets about not being recognized in public? Not to mention consistently being just an all-around nice guy.
The documentary is gearing up to be a really intimate look at the skateboarder. Co-producer Mark Duplass tells Variety that they’ve “been quietly working on this one for a few years. We are floored with the unmitigated access Tony has allowed us to his life and his fascinating relationship to the sport.”
Can’t wait til 2022 for your dose of the ‘Birdman’? Well, you won’t have to wait for much longer. He’ll make an appearance in Jackass Forever which hits theaters in October.

Occasionally the Afronerd team must channel the infamous Nike corporate tagline, "Just Do It!" Welcome to another fiery and funky, fact-finding mission known as The Grindhouse show, broadcasting every Sunday at 6 p.m. eastern, courtesy of the BTalk 100 cyber radio platform. Join your "blerdic" neighborhood heroic hosts as they wax about the following topics: popular SNL cast member/writer/comedian, Michael Che, found himself in a bit of social media "hot water" after proposing to craft some jokes centering around Olympic gymnast, Simone Biles; the fallout from Marvel/Disney's Black Widow continues with actor, Scarlett Johansson filing suit against the media giant for her films simultaneous release on Disney+ (Premier Access) and therefore closing off potential "back-end" profits and revenue. Johansson's contemporaries may follow her lead by seeking legal recourse for films that are not exclusively released in theaters; we never did get around to discussing last week's DC Animated release of Batman: The Long Halloween Part Two; it looks like writer, Neil Gaiman's universe (American Gods) will continue to expand with the recent announcement that Delroy Lindo (The Good Fight, Da 5 Bloods) will be portraying "Mr. Nancy" in the forthcoming Anansi Boys project; addressing some issues left on the kitchen table per Wednesday's Mid Week in Review broadcast;
And now Tinseltown is following the lead of some cities/states that have chosen to remove memorials and/or statues that honor problematic (ahem...racist) individuals.....this time, Birth Of A Nation filmmaker, D.W. Griffith gets his Confederate "spotlight"; hopefully this isn't an example of the Hollywood hype machine at work, BUT Comic Book Resources is reporting that Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson's upcoming Black Adam film will be utilizing groundbreaking technology never before used/seen in the superhero movie genre before; Dburt asks how does alleged African intellectual inferiority manifest if American college students are paying Kenyan contractors to do their schoolwork?; And lastly, notable comedic actress, Amanda Seales raises eyebrows on her Instagram page for asking why Will Smith is doing a film (King Richard) about Richard Williams as opposed to highlighting his daughters, tennis greats, Venus and Serena Williams. Again, folks, it is imperative that Black Men's media continues to expand and expound.....
One thing that Dburt is doing (finally) is investing in cryptocurrency, courtesy of Roundlyx. We would implore our followers to investigate, discern and then explore by using our referral code: afro-87A4BF

After what appears to be a cult mass suicide, a documentary filmmaker, DR. AMARA ROWEN (True), is contacted by the surviving members of ‘The Hidden Wisdom Cult’ in the hope she will be able to uncover the truth. Unfortunately, Amara’s connection with the group could unwittingly make her the next victim. Founded by respected physics professor DR. JOSEPH CAWL (Davison), Hidden Wisdom has gained tens of thousands of followers in dozens of countries with claims to be capable of supernatural power and the ability to cure seemingly incurable mental health difficulties. DR. LEONARD BERTRAM (David), Joseph’s former colleague, is convinced that Joseph is actually evil and plans to use the power of Hidden Wisdom to change reality as a whole. But someone or something has decided that the only way to save the world is to cut out the cancer and kill the last survivors of Joseph’s group. Amara and the survivors have to fight for their lives so this does not become for them…The Last Call.
