  • The Lincoln Lawyer

    Good news: At a time when corporate marketing budgets are merely a shadow of what they once were, Ford will get a free ride in the new film, The Lincoln Lawyer. A Lincoln spokesman says that the company didn't spend a dime on product placement for the movie. Bad news: The Lincoln Lawyer features the Lincoln Town Car, which will drive off to that Showroom in the Sky later this year. The model isn't even widely available now, except as a fleet buy or special purchase. Worse news: The "gripping thriller" (Lionsgate's words, not ours) stars Matthew McConaughey, Ryan Phillipe, and Marisa Tomei...

    Video: New FAST FIVE Trailer Raises At Least Six Questions

    In chillier parts of the country, you might not believe it, but summer is a-comin'. And of course, with summer come action films. And with action films come fast cars, scantily clad women, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Add all that together, carry the one, and you've got the new trailer for Fast...

    Hyundai Returns As Exclusive Auto Sponsor Of The Academy Awards

    In case you haven't been paying attention, this Sunday is the 83rd Academy Awards ceremony, and it promises to be, well...interesting. The organizers have hired two young hosts, one of whom still lives on the fringes of superstardom and neither of whom is a comedian. In a bid to draw back younger...

    Relive The Thrill Of The 'Bullitt' Car Chase, At 1:32 Scale

    At last count, there were at least five reasons to love the internet: 1. [REDACTED] 2. Cat videos. 3. The Oatmeal. 4. The lovely and talented High Gear Media family. 5. The opportunity it provides crazy obsessive people to show off their handiwork. And in service of #5 comes news that graphic...

  • TRON Legacy Light Cycle
    Light Up The Streets: TRON Light Cycles Now For Sale

    One of Winter's most anticipated films was TRON Legacy, the follow-up to 1980s science-fiction film TRON. In the original, a hacker played by Jeff Bridges gets absorbed into a perilous virtual world and in Legacy, his son falls to the same fate. For tech fans the plot is really just a sideline to...

  • BMW Vision EfficientDynamics on the set of MI4

    While the production version of the Vision EfficientDynamics concept isn’t scheduled to go on sale until October of 2013, we may get a preview of the car in the upcoming Mission Impossible 4 movie. The vehicle pictured is an early prototype of the Vision EfficientDynamics supercar and it was spotted in Vancouver, Canada on the set of the fourth installment of the Mission Impossible franchise, Mission Impossible: The Ghost Protocol. We’re not sure what role the car will play in the movie but a host of other supercars were also sighted on set, including a Porsche Carrera GT...

    John Lennon, Movie Cars, & Autos Of Autocrats: CelebsAndCars' Week In Review

    Between the shortened holiday weekend and the lingering afterglow of the Detroit Auto Show, we haven't had gobs of time (or energy) to follow up on most of the items in the Celebs And Cars inbox -- at least not in detail. And so, in flippant Friday fashion, we present a quick rundown of the major...

    Kill Us Now: Adam Sandler & Kevin James Play Valets In Upcoming 'Bro-medy'

    Dear Hollywood: We demand that you cease and desist directing, producing, promoting, or in any way encouraging Adam Sandler to appear in more "bro-medies". We don't think that "bro-medies" is a real word -- in fact, we hope it's not. We just dreamed it up to describe whatever Sandler's been doing...

    Report: George Clooney Could Star As John Z. DeLorean In New Movie

    As of last summer, there were as many as three different versions of the life story of legendary automotive entrepeneur and engineer John Z. DeLorean. The front-runner for production is now tipped to have George Clooney on the line to play DeLorean's role. Running from DeLorean's time at General...

    Video: New Trailer For FASTER Is Heavy On Knife Fights, Light On Car Chases

    You have no idea how much we love the holidays. Not because of the mini-vacation, or the change in weather, or the turducken -- though those are nice, of course -- but because of the dazzling array of movies on view. From Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve, at cineplexes across America, studios...

    2012 BMW 6-Series To Feature In Mission Impossible 4?

    BMW’s next-generation 6-Series is just around the corner, with an early 2011 reveal looking more and more likely. We’ve seen prototypes for both the Coupe and the Convertible for more than a year now, and at the 2010 Paris Auto Show we saw a concept version of the new 6-Series that...

  • Screencap from THE COMMUTER

    You'd think there's be more shenanigans afoot in the celeb world, what with Halloween weekend approaching. But no, our feed reader is quiet, and our appeal to Brit-Brit and Lilo clearly fell on deaf ears. Or unconscious ears. Take your pick. But all isn't lost. Surely you don't think we'd leave you without a timewaster on Friday? Of course we wouldn't. And so, behold: "The Commuter", a new short film featuring Dev Patel, Ed Westwick, Charles Dance, Pamela Anderson, and one very, very beautiful Lotus Evora. Even better/crazier: the entire thing was shot on a mobile phone. Not kidding: the...

    Transformers 3 Has Another On-Set Accident: The Crash Of The Bumblebee

    As you might've heard, there's going to be a third Transformers film. Megan Fox isn't involved. Michael Bay is. We've already begun stockpiling tomatoes. The shoot for Transformers III: Lube Job (or whatever they're calling it) hasn't been going all that great. You might recall last month's tragic...

    Last week, an extra on the set of Michael Bay's Transformers 3 was gravely injured when a stunt went horribly wrong. The actress -- 24-year-old Gabriela Cedillo -- was on a set in Hammond, Indiana, when a cable being used in the scene snapped and hit her in the head. The accident occurred during...

  • Ferrari 458 Italia on the set of Transformers 3

    Back in March we reported that Ferrari's latest sports car, the 458 Italia, will be joining the big screen as the latest Autobot in the third Transformers movie from producer Michael Bay. The announcement was originally made at the sale of the first U.S.-market 458 Italia, and now we have an image of the car on the actual set of the movie rolling alongside Autobot leader Optimus Prime. The Italia pairs a howling 4.5-liter V-8 with a new, sleeker and more futuristic look for performance that one-ups its predecessor, the F430. With cars like the Chevrolet Camaro, GMC Topkick, Hummer H2...

    Interactive 2011 Lexus CT 200h "Dark Ride" movie launched

    We've been perplexed by Lexus' "dark side of green" motif for the 2011 CT 200h ever since it was unveiled at the New York Auto Show this year, and even after getting a look at the interactive "Dark Ride" movie, we're left, well, in the dark. And not in a good way. The mission behind the interactive...

    Holy Crap: Vin Diesel Hints At Fast & Furious 5 & 6

    Yes, you read that headline correctly (especially if you jumped right over the "holy" part): in the future, we will all be subjected to more bouts of ridonkulous gearhead hijinks on the big screen. Rumor has it that in the future we will also wear lots of spandex and have robot butlers, but as of...

    3 versions of John DeLorean biopic in the works

    Whether it's for the quirky but ultimately flawed stainless-steel DeLorean DMC-12, his legacy as the developer of the Pontiac GTO, or his role behind the scenes at Packard and General Motors, John DeLorean will be remembered as one of the 20th Century's most influential automotive personalities...

    Classic Recreations "Gone In 60 Seconds" Eleanor revealed

    Although the days of Toby Halicki's 40-minute chase scenes seem to be long and lamentably gone, his production company has licensed the latest incarnation of Eleanor for reproduction. That means that Joe Public can get his very own Eleanor for the meager sum of $139,900. And this isn't...

    'Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift' Cars For Sale

    The original Fast and the Furious was a pretty decent movie. Sure, it had the odd cheesy line (“I live life a quarter mile at a time”), but overall we enjoyed it. Then 2 Fast 2 Furious came out and it was on the same level as a Steven Segal movie. With a change in country and the...
