'Faster' MotoGP Movie

mr_rua · 05-20-2003, 8:49 AM

Does anybody have any information about the MotoGP movie 'Faster' other than the MotoGP website? *I would like to find out if it's ever going to be released in the states via movie theaters (I know it probably will NOT be played in the mainstream movie theathers) or DVD.

I don't think it will be played in 'mainsteam theatres' GP doesn't have enough of a following here in the states. Although it would be good if MotoGP were in fact to come to the US in 2004.

Cliff, sorry I meant to say that it would NOT be played in the 'mainstream theaters'. That's why I'm trying to look around to see if it would be played at any of the indy (independent movie) theaters in the states.

I seriously doubt if it will even hit the art houses. You better just hope they code the DVD for the states when it comes out on disc.

Man, this is big stinky

They probably won't even code a DVD for the US. I guess it would probably take an act of congress to be able to see it in the US via theater or DVD. ARGH!!!!

Just like the MotoGP reviews I'm sure we'll get it. However it will most likely be later than the European counterpart. I want to see it too. If they don't code it I'll go buy an all region DVD player.

It will be a cult movie, dude, sign me up.

I am looking everywhere for it also. I only get a bit of info from Motograndprix.com and a bit on Motorcyclenews.

Be patient my boy, it will be announced.

I just heard on 2 Wheel Tuesday that it is supposed to be a pretty decent movie, but that may just be hype. Has anyone noticed that the MotoGP website has been down the last few days?

Ewan McGregor is the narrator. Supposedly its a
documentry-type film about MotoGP and 500GP legends and rivalries. Here's some discussions about it on Colin Edwards website:

Ewan is definitely mad-back in my good graces after his dumbass japanese sellout commercials....... because they showed the Cannes movie preview event before the Le Mans MotoGp race broadcast here. Ewan rolls up to the red carpet with 4 other riders, including Gary McCoy (sporting a Mohawk) and Ewan is rolling a black and trick stickered baddass 600rr. Lots of throttles and generally kiggass stuff...was this shown on the U.S. coverage? I can't wait to buy this Faster DVD...

The joys of living outside the US - it's pretty hard to buy a DVD player that is NOT multi region coded. (unless you are dumb enough to buy a Sony)

No but it was on the MotoGP website and I wasn't impressed by Ewans skills, He roasted the clutch and was having a bizitch of a time doing a burn out.

Zee- You guys get all the good shiit
