Colin Hanks and Ryan Reynolds' John Candy doc to open TIFF in September

Candy as a beloved comedy staple in the 1980s, starting with "SCTV" and leading into "Stripes," "Spaceballs," "Uncle Buck," and perhaps his most-beloved movie "Planes, Trains and Automobiles." Sadly, in 1994 he died at the age of 43 with what was reported as a heart attack. He remains a much-revered comedy figure, and anecdotes about him as a person tend to paint him in a positive life. Now, a documentary about his life is about to arrive. A couple notable names other than Candy are attached to "I Like Me" as well. Ryan Reynolds, a Canadian boy himself and a big fan of the actor, produced the movie. On top of that, though, it was directed by Colin Hanks, the actor and son of Tom Hanks. Colin was actually in "Volunteers" with his dad and Candy when he was a child. This isn't his first directorial rodeo, either. Hanks has previously directed documentaries about Tower Records and the band Eagles of Death Metal.
