[[tmz:video id="0_ypfplv8s"]] Steve-o came out on the losing end of a run-in with a wooden porta potty ... and by losing we mean his ankle is shattered in Three places, and the video is brutal. We got this video of Steve-o trying to pull the insane stunt Sunday in San Diego -- he perched himself, with a skateboard, on top of the porta potty ... then pro skating legend Danny Way drove a car underneath him, shattering the poop shed.

Brian O'Shea, CEO at The Exchange, announced that Josh Brolin ("Sicario,""Everest") will be narrating the documentary "Unchained: The Untold Story of the Freestyle Motocross" in addition to becoming an executive producer for the project.
"Unchained" is currently in post-production and will be introduced to worldwide buyers at the Afm'15 by The Exchange. The film is said to be the adrenaline-soaked, heart-wrenching story of the birth and boom of the most extreme sport on the planet: Freestyle Motocross (Fmx).
Produced, Directed and Written by Paul Taublieb, one of the creators of the internationally renowned X Games, joined by Co-Director/Co-Producer Jon Freeman, who helped launch the sport as a filmmaker, and together they bring to life the story of a group of motocross racers who abandoned conservative racing culture to create an high-stakes sport -- and to-the-edge lifestyle -- all their own. The film features the biggest names in extreme sports, all baring their souls in an unprecedented fashion. They take viewers on a thrilling ride behind the scenes of a sport where insanity and defying gravity go hand-in-hand.
The creative team includes Director/Producer/Writer Taublieb, also known for the acclaimed feature documentary "Fastest," about MotoGP racing, and the Emmy Award-winning "Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau," and Freeman, whose seminal video series "Crusty Demons of Dirt" helped create the sport itself, along with executive producers Susan Cooper ("The Vow"), Brian O'Shea, Jeff Bowler and Nat McCormick and features Carey Hart, Tony Hawk, Travis Pastrana, Danny Way, Mike Metzger and Jeremy McGrath.
'When Academy Award-nominee Josh Brolin selects "Unchained" as a documentary to narrate, as well as working as an Executive Producer on the film, it gives you a stamp of approval and added value', said Brian O'Shea from The Exchange.

American skateboarder Danny Way has an impressive five gold medals to his name at the Summer X Games, which even more impressively were won across over a decade. And having made his mark on the industry (and then some), his life was turned into the documentary, Waiting for Lightning, by Jacob Rosenberg.
We saw some great early clips this time last year, soon after the film had premiered out in SXSW. And with the film now on the cusp of its global release later this month, following its Us release back in December, we’ve got a new trailer to share from the documentary.

There have been plenty of quality biographical extreme sports docs released in the last couple years, with Jeff Tremaine’s profile of BMX godfather Matt Hoffman, The Birth of Big Air, Stacy Peralta’s loving skate team autobio, Bones Brigade, and even Tristan Patterson’s beautifully unconventional debut, Dragonslayer, but the more the merrier as far as we’re concerned. Jacob Rosenberg’s directorial debut, Waiting For Lightning, stylishly outlines the life of boundary pushing skateboard legend Danny Way by combining elements of retrospective bits with the capping of a career in Way’s attempt to jump the Great Wall of China. The cross cut story is not a complete success, but Way, like many of the skate icons who vet his story, is an enigmatic character of practiced skill and devout will, making for a compelling film filled with fledgling career footage and plenty of big air delirium.

“When Danny asked me to make the film, I knew right away I had the opportunity to pay tribute to a skateboarder I admired and tell a human story that fed my filmmaking soul. When Danny calls and asks, you don’t say no.” – Jacob Rosenberg, director of Waiting for Lightning There is no real way of knowing, just by watching it, that the new documentary Waiting for Lightning is a work commissioned by its own subject. The above quote comes from an interview in the press notes, and after reading it, I decided that the film is even worse than I already thought. Something just rubs me the wrong way about a prominent person having a movie made about himself. It reminds me of Triumph of the Will, especially the opening. This isn’t to say that I think legendary pro skateboarder Danny Way is comparable to Hitler in the worst of aspects, just...

Title: Waiting for Lightning Director: Jacob Rosenberg Another descendant of “Dogtown and Z-Boys,” Stacy Peralta’s influential 2001 documentary about the 1970s rise of popular skateboarding culture and the colorful characters who populated it, “Waiting for Lightning” details the life story of visionary skater, daredevil and X Games star Danny Way, building up to his 2005 attempt to jump the Great Wall of China. A slick technical package and a willingness to peer at least a bit into the difficult childhood and fractured psyche of its subject give this movie a leg up on a lot of its less inquisitive, like-minded, hagiographic stunt spectaculars, like “Nitro Circus: The Movie.” Way was [ Read More ]

Resembling a feature-length version of the human interest backstories that have lately come to dominate television sports coverage, Waiting for Lightning details the life and career of famed skateboarder Danny Way. Jacob Rosenberg’s essentially promotional documentary centers on his famed 2005 jump over the Great Wall of China, making its current release not exactly timely. Way is clearly a man willing to let his daring athletic feats do the talking for him, since he’s a virtual non-entity in this film celebrating his own accomplishments. Not heard from except in occasional voiceovers and archival news segments, he remains a

Waiting for Lightning
Directed by Jacob Rosenberg
Written by Bret Anthony Johnston
USA, 2012
Waiting for Lightning represents a war, a struggle of duality in documentary form. This 90-minute look at the life of skateboarder Danny Way and his insane but inspiring attempt to skateboard across and over the Great Wall of China, at its core, is unable to make these strands connect naturally. The film is well-made, certainly, and Way’s daring folly in China is fascinating. As hypnotic as it can be to watch him skate up and down a half-pipe, though, Danny Way’s story feels a bit too slight to fill out a feature-length film.
The biographical aspects of Way’s life are interspersed with the lead-up to the fateful stunt in 2005. Waiting for Lightning posits that Way, whose father died when Danny was very young, was innately equipped to pick up a skateboard and try new stunts,...

There's been a few* flawless documentaries about the skateboard industry. Two are Dogtown and the Z-Boys and Bones Brigade: An Autobiography, which were both made by the guy who perhaps saved skateboarding, Stacy Peralta. In those docs, he focuses on two different teams and how each separately changed the industry forever. That said, there are a lot of lone skateboarders still out there who shaped, shifted, and skewed the industry on their own. One of those fearless renegades is Danny Way, a man who's broken more world records and bones than corrupt politicians have laws and prostitutes. Jacob Rosenberg's Waiting for Lightning, a documentary about Way's rise to skateboard fame, fiercely tells the inspiring and often tragic story about his roots, coming from practically nothing, and...

Attending South by South West is an exciting, unique, and exhausting experience. You don’t sleep. You eat a lot of barbeque. And at this year’s festival, you probably got stuck in the rain for most of the day. But, not only do you get to see the latest buzz worthy films, you get to sit in a room with the amazing cast and creators of some of the most anticipated movies of the coming year. For Danny Way, star of the autobiographical life story, “Waiting for Lightning,” directed by Jacob Rosenberg, the veteran skateboarder upped the ante for all the other SXSW stars by bringing the festival’s feature film to life.

Former skateboarder Jacob Rosenberg’s first feature documentary Waiting for Lightning focuses on the evolution of Danny Way from his rough childhood to his emergence as a world famous skater whose daredevil antics would lead him to jump over the Great Wall of China. The film explores how Danny’s experience coming from a broken home led to his passion for skateboarding and his desire to constantly test his own limits. Judging from the film’s trailer, Waiting for Lightning promises to be an equal parts thrilling and deeply inspirational sports doc.
