(via Thenewswire.ca)

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, December 5, 2012 - Network Entertainment Inc. ("Network"), a subsidiary of Network Media Group Inc. (TSX-V: NTE), is pleased to announce an agreement with Chad McQueen and McQueen Racing LLC under which Network will produce a feature documentary on the life and legacy of the legendary Steve McQueen, tentatively entitled "Steve McQueen - King of Cool". The ruggedly handsome actor is a true classic Hollywood icon and one of the most enduring tough guys ever to grace the silver screen.

"Steve McQueen remains one of the most recognizable icons on the planet, the symbol of the rugged anti-hero", states Derik Murray, Network's founder, CEO and producer of the film, "Our intention with this film is to share Steve's incredible story with the worldwide market by shining a spotlight on this supremely talented actor and legendary tough guy."

Steve's son and McQueen Racing owner Chad McQueen adds "As much success as my father had in Hollywood, his biggest passion was always cars, motorcycles, and later, planes, which rubbed off on me. While people know him from his films, his legacy is more than what the public saw onscreen. This film is about the parts of Steve McQueen's life that few know."

"Most fans only know Steve McQueen as a movie star, but he described himself as a racer as much as an actor", says Paul Gertz, Network's president, "and our film will dig deeper into these underexplored aspects of Steve's life, along with his legacy and societal impact, than ever before. We're honoured to be working with Steve's son Chad McQueen and his team at McQueen Racing to bring a first hand perspective to Steve McQueen's story that has yet to be told."

This film is the latest in Network's slate of high profile legacy documentaries on the lives of the world's greatest icons, following the company's 2010 Academy Award shortlisted Muhammad Ali film "Facing Ali", its recent documentary "I Am Bruce Lee" which set all time ratings records for Viacom, and its recently announced documentary on the immortal Marilyn Monroe.
