New Project Announcement: William Shatner Documentary

Our advisory board member, William Shatner, has led an iconic career. But beyond his roles as Kirk, Denny Crane, and the Priceline Negotiator, lies a man who has lived a full and fascinating life. Today Legion M and Exhibit A Pictures are announcing a new documentary directed by Alexandre O. Philippe (The People vs George Lucas, 78/52: Hitchcock’s Shower Scene, Memory: The Origins of Alien), in which William Shatner takes off the countless masks he's worn throughout his storied career, to reveal the man behind one of the most recognizable faces in the world.

But what makes this documentary even more unique is the opportunity for FANS to own a part of it. The Untitled William Shatner Documentary will be financed entirely by fans, who can invest as little as $40 to own a share of the film and get a credit in the movie. These investors are not just providing the funds to produce the film — they also own a share of any revenue the movie earns.

Terms for investment have not yet been released, but you can sign-up above to make a non-binding reservation and get priority access once they are.

"For years I've had people approaching me to do a documentary about my life, but I turned them all down because it didn’t feel like the right fit. Alexandre and I hit it off right away, and when I heard how Legion M wanted to incorporate audiences to be a part of it, it was perfect. Fans have been responsible for my career — it only seems right that they should own this doc."

A note for current investors in Legion M:
As an investor in Legion M, you already have a stake in all our projects (including this one).

If you are interested, you are welcome to invest directly in this project to receive a credit in the film and a return tied directly (and solely) to revenues generated by this film.
