LOS ANGELES, April 18, 2018 -- "Gene Wilder, a prolific actor and screenwriter best known for such classic films: Young Frankenstein, The Producers, Blazing Saddles and Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, will be remembered in this new documentary called, 'Remembering Gene Wilder': His Life, Legacy and Battle with Alzheimer’s Disease," stated the films producers, Julie Nimoy & David Knight.
“I am very excited to support that Leonard Nimoy’s daughter and son-in-law, Julie Nimoy and David Knight, will be producing a new documentary film honoring my beloved late husband Gene Wilder. The documentary will share personal stories from his life, career and his battle with Alzheimer’s Disease,” says Gene’s widow, Karen Boyer Wilder.
"My father loved Gene! Not only did he direct him in the 1990 film, 'Funny About Love,' but they remained very close friends for many years. David and I are so honored and thrilled to be able to tell Gene's personal story," stated producer Julie Nimoy.
“Gene Wilder was truly one of the greatest artistic talents of any generation,” said Jill Lesser, Board Member, UsAgainstAlzheimer’s. “His clever wit touched many lives through his brilliant portrayals. Two years ago, Alzheimer’s disease took this genius from us, but Gene is still working hard to stop this disease thanks to 'Remembering Gene Wilder,'" added Lesser. “His courage, wit, and magic are on display in this piece that honors his life, his success, and his battle with the disease. UsAgainstAlzheimer’s will continue to push for a cure in honor of Gene and the nearly 6 million people who are living with this progressive illness.”
'Remembering Gene Wilder' will also include never-seen-before home videos and photos in this very special and memorable film to be released in Spring 2019.
