"Go Like Hell" movie coming

[Mike Drew]

Hey guys--many of you have read the book "Go Like Hell" which is a telling of the Shelby/Ford/Iacocca/GT40/Ferrari/Le Mans story in a gripping, page-turning format. Now it looks like it's going to be turned into a Michael Mann movie, perhaps spurred on by the presumed success of the new Ron Howard flick, "Rush"

Check it out:

Michael Mann to Direct GO LIKE HELL

I help you hoping... if it has to appeal to a large audience they probably have to add a lot 'we' don't really need. Nevertheless, we can't have too many movies on racing and cars.

That is a two year old press release.

FWIK the deal is dead.

We were to supply 20 or so MKII cars for use in this film including replicas of the 3 that finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

First the film was on, then off, then on again and now on hold.

They have a Director and had even got Brad Pitt, Russell Crowe and Eric Banner to agree to be in the film.

Anyway we are still waiting for the call that its a go.

Thanks

Andy

Yesterday I just finished reading the book.
Fantastic read.
As stated above, I doubt Hollywood would do it justice.
Unnecessary love interests etc...blah.
Shame its off though.

You're right, of course. But years ago in the days of VHS tapes I took the movie "Top Gun" and edited out any scene that did not have an airplane in it. The result was much more fun to watch than the original.

I suspect that if the Ron Howard's F1 film "Rush" does well it could revive interest in "Go Like Hell".
