The 'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater' documentary will be released digitally next month.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
The highly anticipated video game film 'Pretending I'm A Superman - The Tony Hawk Story' is set to drop on August 18 after premiering at the Mammoth Film Festival back in May.
Wood Entertainment has bought the rights to the project, which is directed by Ludvig Gur and takes its name from the iconic Goldfinger hit featured on the first game's memorable soundtrack.
Tony himself said: "'Pretending I'm A Superman' is a robust, real-life story of our successful video game series as told by those who created it, and many who were inspired by it."
Filmmaker Gur added: "I'm really excited to partner with Wood Entertainment.
"It's been a long journey making the documentary and I'm stoked it will finally be released for skateboarding and 'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater' fans worldwide.
"The art form and video game had an enormous impact on Generation Y / Z and the story behind it is even more fascinating."
The documentary release will come just weeks before eagerly awaited reboot of 'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2' in September.
The franchise originally ran for four titles between 1999 and 2002, but was revived in 2015 for a much-maligned 'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5'.
And whilst the skateboarder himself acknowledged the "missteps" the games had made in the past, he's sure the remasters of the classic titles will right those wrongs.
He recently said: "We might have had a few missteps doing games in the past, but I think this will really turn the tide. It does take you back to that time. It does take you back to that feeling. And I hope that people embrace it."
