\n\tPresented by Clearly Canadian and co-produced by Mills Entertainment and Reynolds\u2019 Maximum Effort in partnership with the doc\u2019s distributor Amazon MGM Studios, the tour will see the box office megastar showing up for special event screenings that will feature surprise guests and members of Candy\u2019s inner circle including family and friends for moderated conversations. Live chats will be moderated by Dan Pasternak and Kevin McCarthy. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMovies bring people together and millions of people came together to watch John Candy,\u201d Reynolds said in a statement. \u201cI am so excited to share our film on a big screen and to share the stage with some of the people who knew him best as they share their memories of the man.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tReynolds added that he\u2019s \u201chonored\u201d that the tour will have a philanthropic element in support of St. Jude Children\u2019s Research Hospital, which will receive net proceeds from each screening. Tour organizers also will be collaborating with local partners for each screening like film societies, festivals, sports clubs and other groups. Already lined up are link ups with Tribeca Festival, Second City, Film Independent, the Toronto Argonauts and others. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe tour comes ahead of the doc\u2019s Prime Video launch on Oct. 10. Directed by Hanks, John Candy: I Like Me features never-before-seen archival footage, personal imagery and intimate interviews with A-list friends and collaborators that illuminate Candy\u2019s life and career. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cJohn Candy represents the very best of Canadian culture \u2014 warmth, humor, authenticity and a generosity of spirit that touched people everywhere,\u201d Clearly Canadian chief marketing officer Jennifer Blackburn said. \u201cWe see those same values reflected in our own story.\u201d<\/p>\n
