Nearly 20 years after he ‘won’ the initial title, through ups and downs in his career, with his family, and with his struggles with addiction, Arquette seeks redemption by returning to the ring for real this time,” said the synopsis.
“You Cannot Kill David Arquette” features footage from the journey, along with interviews with WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, and actress Courteney Cox, plus David’s sisters – Rosanna Arquette and Patricia Arquette.

David is one of the executive producers on the project. Stay tuned for updates, including the release date.
