I have a chance to put my Scoob on the casting couch and be a part of FAF2, but they're asking for me to stump up the shipping costs (which are estimated at £2k)

Surely a big budget film would have enough to ship across the only European car in the movie, and thus be unique, since there are no Scoobs in the film yet !

I'd have to give her up for 3 weeks too.

Boohoo, a chance at fame destroyed........

Yeah, if you see it back?

I'll pay you shipping costs to send it to lancashire to be in a new film, oh and you'll be without it for three weeks. That should give me long enough to get it out of country or sold.

Oh, and I will need your V5 etc for customs purposes.

Here's my baby....




Soon to be upgraded to around 300bhp (from standard UK spec !)

DJ: yeah, fitted Ok. Much better than the bogging one I removed !
I think it had reached the end of it's shelf life !

IanC: I'll just get Vin Diesel to look after it
All legit though, I posted this up on the Third Party board as well looking for sponsorship, since they could plaster the car with their stickers for advertisement, but not one bite.

ChristianR: you have to go to Miami mate !
Hence why I was asking for sponsorship to pay for the shipping since this would be a unique opportunity to represent Scoobies on screen, they don't have any at present.
The Director also doesn't guarantee length of time on screen, so it could be 5 secs, could be 5 mins.

Your car also needs 4 amps, 10 sub-woofers and 2x100bhp bottles of NOS. Surely all the extra weight of that music setup would mean you would need about 2000bhp to do a 10 second 1/4.

Yeah, the lairy graphics are the only thing that's worrying me....and also the inevitable chase scene at the end leading to a "race the locomotive and jump the gap" sequence !


Slight change to the car soon too, currently negotiating a P1 lip spoiler.......

Now, how can you not want this car on screen ?!

Or a 22B although even that wouldn't probably be in your face enough and the rear spoiler needs to be about 3 times bigger. A credit card bashing at Veilside or similiar should do the trick.

I got this quote from the website http://www.moviecarz.com/announce_special.asp

"Further, cars with logos on them of companies that are NOT sponsors of the movie will need to have those logos removed prior to arrival on set. The sponsors are already set and cannot be added. Cars will be screened for logos prior to their access to the set."

Devils Refugee I have mailed this to you also.

Thumbs up

Ian/555

The best thing about making contact with the organisers directly mean that you can get correct and up to date info.

If this project gets going, I have confirmation that logos on my car ARE allowed as long as the third parties sign a release form for the Film Co to use their images.

It's a MY00 Euro-import, UK spec
Subaru UK never released any in Sonic Blue other than the P1, which is why it's pretty rare in 4dr in the Uk.
