Default The Informant - Premiere September 18

The Informant

Be sure to get your tickets early. This one is going to the Oscars.
I am guessing that Matt Damon will be up for Best Supporting Actor.
And the Red Carrera 4 will be up for Best Actor.

Check out the trailers - the C4 gets a split second. Also, in the web site audio, there are random quotes from the movie, including "Porsh or Porsha? I should really know.."

I've read some reviews, and overall they are very positive. I'm looking forward to seeing it

I'll be there. My kids are thrilled that 'my' car is in a movie (albeit a red C2). Large popcorn please....

So, will 964 values sky rocket by the end of September?

See happened to Ur Quattro values after the 2nd series of Life on Mars ( UK )...

DWS964 was you car used in the film? I remember reading a couple of years ago about one of the listers loaning their car for this film. If so, pretty cool. Looks like a good flick.

Please tell me you got them to autograph something in your car...

And, oh yeah, something I want to go see... just from the trailers I would have shot that informant, too funny.

Apparently if you get a Canon EOS 5D Mk 2 and add al the goodies it's as good as the most expensive Hollywood movie cams! 21Mega pixels and 30fps mega HD so I'm told. Technology is getting cheaper and cheaper..... The talent is obviously in then eye of the beholder.

Talking

Still have the car. In cold storage. Occasionally drive it down to the neighbor's (no windshield, kinda buggy...) I have been picking up parts along the way to rebuild. Waiting to see if the movie is a hit or a bomb to determine if the rebuild is worthwhile.
I suppose I could have created the tale that Matt totaled it in the ball-of-flaming-death scene. Ooops, don't want to spoil the story...

There might be reviews out tonight after the release at the film festival in Canada.

On the day we visited the filming, we were told by the crew that this is one of the first movies to be totally shot in digital ??

Yep, Matt signed inside the driver's door.

I'm pretty fired up. Too bad I can't drive it to the premiere.

"it's a great car, but they won't let me get it out of second gear" Matt Damon
(yeah, right Matt...)
