For the first time since the actor’s untimely death, friends, family, and co-stars will open up about Paul Walker and his life in I Am Paul Walker.
Many individuals will appear in the made-for-TV documentary, including co-star Tyrese Gibson of the The Fast and the Furious franchise, director Rob Cohen, who created the franchise and directed the first film, and his family.
In the trailer, Walker’s brothers Cody and Caleb and his sister, Ashlie, talked about his personality, his love for speed and his passion for nature. His manager, Matt Luber, added that Walker often had one foot in and one foot out of Hollywood and did his best to balance show business and giving back.
The star died tragically on November 30, 2013, as a passenger in a Porsche Carrera GT. Friend and business partner Roger Rodas lost control of the Carrera GT and the wreck left both men dead. After the crash, Porsche was cleared of any responsibility for Walker’s death.
The documentary will focus on Walker’s love of cars and his time with the blockbuster The Fast and the Furious franchise, as well as his love affair with oceans and marine life. Cohen recalls in the trailer that Walker often said, “My daughter and my surfing. That’s what I care about.”
I Am Paul Walker will debut on August 11 at 9 p.m. Eastern time on the Paramount Network.
