Here's a news story that I thought was interesting
Eric Bana to make directorial debut Australian actor Eric Bana is set to make his directorial debut in a comedy about his love affair with a 1974 Ford. Starring Bana as himself, the film, called Love The Beast, is about his 25-year-long infatuation a Falcon Coupe. To be released early next year, it has been shot for the last two years and is currently in post production. Bana has remained quiet about the movie until now, but decided to announce it after it turned into something bigger than expected. "It has been both fun and incredibly exhausting at the same time and has enabled me to combine two of the things that I love - cars and filmmaking," the Hollywood star said in a statement. "It started out as a simple project, but events along the way conspired to turn it into something I could never have envisioned." Distributor Madman Entertainment said the movie had strong comedy elements. "In an unexpectedly emotional journey, Eric explores the importance of friends, hobbies, and what it means to live life to the fullest," she said. "Along the way Eric seeks counsel and guidance from household names such as (US talk show host) Dr Phil and (Top Gear host) Jeremy Clarkson." Produced by Melbourne based comedy Patikalar Productions, it is shot in the Tasmanian wilderness, New York and London. Bana's most recent acting role was in The Other Boleyn Girl and he is set to appear in Star Trek next year. |

I saw a 302 Coupe yesterday... boy did they have a low roofline in their day! Compared to the Maxda6 parked next to it, the Ford's roofline was about 15cm lower!
Now, back on topic...

Would be good to see it's premiere at a drive-in so we could all rock up in our coupes.
Food for thought? |
