VANCOUVER, BC / TheNewswire / October 6, 2015 - Network Media Group Inc. ("Network" or the "Company") (TSX: NTE.V) is pleased to announce an agreement with The Dennis Hopper Trust under which Network will develop a feature documentary on the life and legacy of one of the most unique talents Hollywood has ever seen. The project will celebrate Dennis Hopper's remarkable career as an acclaimed director, actor, and artist.
"Among Hopper's myriad achievements, he defined the motorcycle 'biker' culture to global movie audiences, by virtue of his iconic performance both in front of and behind the cameras, in the classic film Easy Rider", states Network CEO Derik Murray. "Not only did he carve out a wholly unique place in the pantheon of Hollywood stars as a multi-talented actor, director and artist who achieved major critical and commercial success over a five-decade long career, he was also an important voice for social change throughout his life, all of which will be featured in the documentary."
The film will follow in the tradition of Network's highly acclaimed documentaries on iconic individuals whose performances and legacies endure, including Chris Farley, Johnny Cash, Evel Knievel and Steve McQueen.
