Go Like Hell to the movies

[A.J. Baime]

It's been a long time since I've posted on the Forum, been disgustingly busy. But there's some awesome movie news regarding my book Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans, with big names like Josh Brolin being throw around. See this site and scroll down:

Who wouldn't want to see the classic Ford/Ferrari battles of the 1960s portrayed on the big screen in a seriously funded film project? It's been too long since we've had a truly great racing movie.

It's been too long since we've had a truly great racing movie.

+1!!! ('Not since "Grand Prix"!)

Good car flicks are about as common as gun racks in Saabs.

Isn't Vince from Entourage supposed to be playing Enzo Ferrari? :lol

I would rather see this movie made by far. :cheers

Question: Is this movie destined for theater release and if so, when? Will it also go to DVD so we can watch it at home (net flix, blockbuster, etc.)?
Sounds like a fantastic project, hopefully with a bit of "old-school" flare to stir up the right kind of memories and reactions, the "tunner boys" have their own gigs.

AJ are you going to AFM this year?

It would be extremely cool if we could get a parade of GTs together for the Hollywood Premiere of this movie if it gets made. That would be spectacular!

 

[SteveA]

Can't wait to see it, hopefully it won't take that long to make.

I can't being to imagine how cool the premier for such a film could be, with a parade of GTs and Ferraris too. Fingers are crossed. Thanks everyone for chiming in.

I agree, that would be great.
