Re: 'Faster'
Thats the most info I could get. If I could find out the production company I may be able to find out a tentative release date. But I can't seem to come up with it.

Re: 'Faster'
The production company is Spark Productions.
The film was released at the Cannes Film Festival.
The movie's website is Faster Movie, although it doesn't say anything beyond this.

Narrated by Ewan McGregor, who was a quality statement on the website.
It runs 103 min. Over an hour and a half of racing madness? I WILL own the DVD somehow.

Re: 'Faster'
I just got this e-mail back from the production company regarding whether the movie will be in theaters here in the U.S. and if we will be able to purchase it on DVD:

Coming soon. Independent theaters then DVD/video. Sorry can't be more specific. Will post news at fastermovie.com.

Regards,

Mark



Excellent news.

Re: 'Faster'
FASTER was produced by Los Angeles-based Spark Productions so it will be shown in the states. The following was taken from their site.



FASTER

Narrated by Ewan McGregor

Starring Valentino Rossi, Max Biaggi, Garry McCoy, John Hopkins

Music by tomandandy and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Written and directed by Mark Neale

Running time: 103 minutes

FASTER is a documentary but it doesn’t feel like one. It has the energy and intensity of a Hollywood action movie, with the difference that in FASTER the action and danger are for real

FASTER is the first feature-length documentary to go inside the MotoGP world since television took a sport watched by a few thousand spectators at race tracks and turned it into prime-time entertainment for over 350 million people worldwide.

FASTER was produced by Los Angeles-based Spark Productions in association with Dorna Sports SL, the rights-holder for MotoGP and the driving force behind the sport’s explosive growth over the last decade

The MotoGP world championship is the pinnacle of motorcycle sport, a series of sixteen races on five continents contested by twenty-four of the world’s top riders.

Filmed around the world during the 2001 and 2002 seasons, FASTER asks this question: How do you go faster than the rest, how do you win at this glamorous, dangerous game? The movie could be subtitled: How do you beat Valentino Rossi? The 24 year old Italian, world champion in 2001 and 2002, currently dominates MotoGP. He is the biggest star the sport has ever seen and the charismatic centre of the film.

In addition to Rossi, FASTER focuses on three other MotoGP riders: Rossi’s bitter rival Max Biaggi; the brilliant but injury-prone Garry McCoy; and the rising teenage star John Hopkins. Their stories reveal both the ecstasy and the terror of life in the insanely fast lane, as do the tales told by a supporting cast of former world champions including Mick Doohan, Kevin Schwantz, Wayne Rainey, Kenny Roberts and Barry Sheene.

All of this makes FASTER much more than a film about the current MotoGP scene. It is the definitive story of motorcycle racing at the highest level, and of the handful of men who have what it takes to win.

FASTER

Two wheels. 200MPH. Every man for himself.
