Default "Love and Other Drugs" had 2 993's playing a prominent role. Cab and TT(S?) :o)

1:22 secs in, some 993 shots in the above trailer.

FYI - So I got to see a preview showing of "Love and Other Drugs" tonight here in DC (should be out in November they said at the showing) and one of the drug reps has a 993 TT (had a TT-S Spoiler on it for whatever it worth so maybe it was a 993 TT-S to my untrained eye) and the other pharma rep ended up getting a 993 Cab, both cars were black and played a somewhat prominent role in the movie.

Not the best movie, not the worst movie. Definite chick flick but hey, it was free, and it had 2 sweet 993's in it so it wasn't a total loss. Plus lots of Anne Hathaway nudity, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Look for the scene where the 993 is speeding along a major highway and the sound of it is captured quite nicely as it weaves in and out of traffic. I believe the movie was set in 1996.



Great line from the movie: "You meet 1000's of people, then you meet one person and your life is changed...forever."

Love that line. Ok, so I'm a sucker for romance.


From imdb.com

"It remains consistently laugh out loud funny the entire film while giving entertaining characters, serious dramatics, and a deep, pounding, emotional heart., 24 March 2010

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Just saw it at a screening in Orange County. It was much much better than I expected going it. I was expecting something good from Ed Zwick and Anne Hathaway but Jake Gyllenhal really tore it up. This movie is very, very good and will be a huge hit commercially and critically when it comes out. I will say it is long. It has the perfect mix of gross out comedy, serious dramatics, and emotionally connecting love story. The film is really stuck in my head since i saw it. I go and see as many films as I can, and have seen many but this was a fantastic DRom Com. It was parts of Knocked Up, Funny People, and 500 Days of Summer, but with some Up in the Air and Thank You for Smoking and genuine Julia Roberts love story territory. But I must say, as a 20 year old guy, it was very goddamn good.

Anne Hathaway was very convincing with her Parkinson's. The film does a great job with teaching the audience both about Parkinson's and (legitimate) Pharmaceuticals sales. She is stage 1 and acts the part. She is a rebel girl and does a great job. She is EXTREMELY sexy in this movie and this will probably get her voted #1 Sexiest woman in every magazine on earth next year. Brave girl and completely sexy and tasteful...most of the time.

This is absolutely, hands down the best role Jake Gyllenhal has ever played. He might have been dramatic and gay in Brokeback but he is so comfortable as the smooth talking, answer for everything, sex seeking Jamie it really shocked me. I actually have faith he will be good in Prince of Persia after seeing his range in this. He is the cocky part of Thank You For Smoking, with better and more prolific dialogue, but the heartwarming lead of 500 Days of Summer, but with even more redeeming qualities.

The movie was laugh out loud funny the entire film. It never let the film get too serious without a few laughs or the characters making a few jokes about the drama. Supporting characters were great. Oliver Platt played a great typical Oliver Platt role but with great writing and no restraint. Judy Greer was cute and bitchy Judy Greer. Hank Azaria was also quite memorable and hilarious as a womanizing doctor. Jamie's brother is definitely a Jonah Hill type/looking guy but as the movie goes on you can't help but like him. He is in some of the best scenes in the film.

The chemistry is off the charts between Jake and Anne which is obvious but the other characters do a fantastic job standing out as well. I have seen a lot of films and enjoy good films of all genres but this might be the best Romantic Dramedy I have ever seen."

Steve-- Preview flicks are fun, especially when they're free. Even better when 993s fill up the screen!

Often have studio representatives looking for audience members to interview afterwards, for feedback.
Their exit personnel track you down as a consultant on their 993 usage?

Here's the direct-embedded trailer from Damien's "993 Back on the Silver Screen" thread, where there's also good discussion:

Cool to still see our cars in movies!

Whoops, didn't realize there was already a thread on this movie...

Oh well, guess I don't stop in here near as much as I used to.

Peace,
Steve
