Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is a timeless classic. A skateboarding game that became hugely popular worldwide. While this isn't news about a new game from the legend himself, it is news about the previous titles...sort of. Tony Hawk has announced that a new documentary "Pretending I'm a Superman" will be screening later this month.

The documentary. that we reported on back in 2017, focuses on the original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater titles and has been created by Ralph D’Amato, a former Neversoft producer who worked on the games. It's also directed by Ludvig Gür and has Austin Droguett as director of photography.
