The long-awaited documentary “Steve McQueen: The Man & LeMans” is finally set for its premiere. The film, co-directed by Gabriel Clarke and John McKenna, follows the path of McQueen’s quest to complete his pet project – a 1971 feature film entitled “LeMans” about the legendary 24 hour race – at a time when he had already achieved mega-star status in Hollywood after a string of successful films in the 1960s. The film will have archive footage of McQueen [who died in 1980 of cancer] as well as appearances from his son, Chad, and former wife, Neile Adams.
“Steve McQueen: The Man & LeMans” is currently scheduled to make its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France, from May 13-24, 2015. No date has yet been determined for its USA premiere – though it is expected to be later in 2015.
