John Candy Documentary Is Prepared by Ryan Reynolds, Colin Hanks, and Amazon

Reynolds, who is also Canadian, has long proclaimed his love for the late comedy actor

It is reported that Ryan Reynolds and Colin Hanks are in advanced talks with Amazon Prime Video to create a documentary film on the late Canadian comedian John Candy.

As FarOut Magazine reports, Colin Hanks, son of Tom Hanks and Samantha Lewes, has been directing the extensive documentary with Reynolds heading up production duties. The project is currently untitled, but Amazon Prime Video looks to be the first network to acquire the exciting feature.

Reynolds, who is also Canadian, has long proclaimed his love for the late comedy actor. He was elated to announce that his production company Maximum Effort would develop a new documentary covering his life and legacy. “With John Candy trending, I’ll just say I love him,” Reynolds wrote on Twitter of his hero and national treasure. “So much so, Maximum Effort is working on a documentary on his life with Colin Hanks. Expect tears.”

Candy sadly passed away in 1994 following a heart attack; he was just 43 years old. The Toronto-born icon rose to prominence thanks to SCTV before he leapt to the big screen. His impressive oeuvre includes Stripes, Splash, Spaceballs, The Great Outdoors, Brewster’s Millions, Uncle Buck, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, and Cool Runnings, among others.
