movie cars

We give up. We asked Hollywood to give us something interesting for this holiday Friday, something that might tide you over until we return on Tuesday, and what did we get? Bupkis, that's what. Zip. Zero. Zilch. (Okay, there was this photo of Simon Monjack, husband of the late Brittany Murphy...

You know, we could do with a break from supercars -- particularly the Audi R8. Between Audi's well-caffeinated publicity team and the battalion of PR warriors manning the barricades at Paramount Pictures, we can't turn on a freakin' toaster without seeing an ad for Iron Man 2 or its sleek, cabrio...

With the Academy Awards less than 24 hours behind us, there's a lot we could talk about today --- which stars showed up in which cars, which movies about cars did well, which documentary about GM got shafted. But no. Today, there's a different ringing in our ears, and it's not the the Oscar buzz...

The Iron Man movie gets a sequel, and more car action.

Actor, singer, dancer, and former Mouseketeer Ryan Gosling hasn't been cranking out many movies lately. Apparently, he's been spending a lot of time in the studio with his band Dead Man's Bones. Which is a shame, because while Dead Man's Bones are really awesome cookies, they are less awesome in...

No, ladies and gents, your eyes don't deceive you: the four gun-toting hombres at left are the new (but likely not improved) A-Team. For those too young to remember the original or too highfalutin' to watch it, The A-Team was a popular TV series in the mid-1980s. Like many TV series then and now...

The Transformers movies have been one of the major co-branding successes of recent years, and General Motors is using it for all it's worth, today releasing a new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro TRANSFORMERS Special Edition. Exclusively an appearance package, the TRANSFORMERS kit can be had on both the LT...

There are few, if any, names that compete with that of Steve McQueen in the realm of American automotive movie lore. As a legitimate race car driver and lover of all things fast and powerful, McQueen's bio pic is drawing the attention of the automotive faithful as well as fans of vintage 1960s and...

There's a reason stunt drivers are at the wheel of the supercars in those high-speed chase scenes, and it's not just that the actors can't be trusted behind the wheel. It turns out weaving in and out of traffic, even when in a controlled environment, can be dangerous. A wreck of a Ferrari into a...

Fast and Furious isn’t the only major car-related Hollywood movie making its debut this year. A new trailer for the sequel to last year’s Transformers movie, Revenge of the Fallen, has been released, revealing more action, more cars, and several new mechanized terrors. The new movie is...

Today General Motors revealed details on the upcoming Chevrolet-branded Autobots "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" movie. Making their debuts at the 2009 Chicago Auto Show are Bumblebee, a Camaro-based Autobot, Sideswipe (Corvette Stingray Concept) and Skids/Mudflap (Chevy Beat concept). The...

The Transformers movies have recently been a gold mine of behind-the-scenes future vehicle footage, and now a different kind of vehicle-based killer robot is taking the screen - Terminators. For the next movie, which will be called Terminator Salvation the mechanized assassins will be taking the...

One Aston Martin DBS used for filming in the latest James Bond flick, Quantum of Solace, has already ended up at the bottom of an Italian lake, and now a second car has been crashed into a quarry. Unlike the first incident, which was actually an accident caused by poor weather conditions, the...

The first two Ford Mustang GT500KR KITT cars from the new Knight Rider series are about to go under the hammer at next month’s Barrett-Jackson auction in Palm Beach. There are in fact three different modified Mustangs that star in the new series, of which we bet there are a number of doubles...

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...

Some of the cars that go up for sale on eBay Motors these days are simply amazing and downright strange. Take this Lexus concept car that was designed for the 2002 hit movie Minority Report, which starred Tom Crusie and was directed by Steven Spielberg, an avid fan of the Lexus brand. The...
