In the time since his death, "Jackass" star Ryan Dunn has been remembered by his friends and fans, and his life was celebrated in a special tribute video played during a memorial service held in Los Angeles.
Now, his "Jackass" associates are planning to honor his legacy with an MTV special, which will feature his greatest moments — and never-before-seen outtakes — from the wildly popular stunt show and subsequent feature films.
That's according to "Jackass" director Jeff Tremaine, who spoke to entertainment site Screen Junkies following MTV's presentation at the annual Television Critics Association press tour in Los Angeles.
"We're gearing up to do a tribute to Ryan," Tremaine told the site. "That's our next project. [His death] hurt pretty bad. It's hurt everybody, but we want to celebrate his life and show everybody. We have just such an amazing bank of footage of him. We're going to dig it all up so we'll discover it too."
A spokesperson for MTV couldn't be reached for comment by press time, but Tremaine said he hopes the Dunn special will air in the fall and will include new interviews with the late star's "Jackass" associates. He also hinted that the show may finally reveal some classic footage that, so far, has remained in the vaults of Dickhouse Productions — for various reasons.
"There's always been the Van Surfing, him and Chris [Pontius] re-enacting a scene from 'Teen Wolf' that didn't go well," he said. "Ryan was riding on the roof of the van and the van was speeding towards a body of water, stopped a little bit short. He made it to the water but the water was only like five inches deep, slammed pretty bad. We decided not to air that because we thought that kids might imitate it too easily."
