A film about the beauty of asking for help<\/h2>\n\n

The film\u2019s producers have described Free Byrd as a movie that \u201cexamines and confronts the vast mysteries of the mind and the beauty and power of asking for help before it is too late\u201d. This suggests that the dramatic side is going to carry more weight than the action<\/strong>, although with him being a motorcyclist who works as a stuntman, there shouldn\u2019t be any shortage of the latter either.<\/p>\n\n

As for the film, Dwayne Johnson has been nothing short of ecstatic. \u201c\u2018Free Byrd\u2019 is a gift in many ways. It\u2019s emblematic both of the sacred beauty of life and of its raw, unfeeling reality,\u201d he told Variety. \u201cArtists Equity have been incredible artistic and cinematic partners, who not only share Greg\u2019s vision for the film, but are all connected to our story in unique and personal ways\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

While it does not yet have a scheduled release date, the film promises to generate buzz once they decide to release it. And given its awards potential, it\u2019s not unreasonable to expect a release starting in September next year so that it has a chance at the Oscars<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
