Tom Shadyac, the director of “The Nutty Professor,” “Liar Liar,” “Bruce Almighty” and "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" is just coming out of an odd few years following his last film, “Evan Almighty.” After a deadly cycling accident, the director sold his 17,000-square-foot mansion in Pasadena, gave away most of his money and possessions, now lives in a trailer park by choice and has spent the past little while putting together a documentary about these experiences and what he's learned in "I Am."

    @ropeofsilicon @ThePlaylist @joshbrunsting Warmest for actress, Like Father for Palme. Candelabra for actor. Maybe Coens for directing.

    @HeyUGuys @ThePlaylist I vote to include Kingsley as Gandhi, Denzel as Malcolm X and Downey as Chaplin.
