There have been some phenomenal racing movies in Hollywood history that have tried to recreate what it feels like inside an actual racecar. Steve McQueen famously drove in the 12-hour Sebring race with a broken foot from a motorcycle accident in preparation for his 1971 film "Le Mans." Incredibly, McQueen nearly won the race, as told in the fascinating documentary "Steve McQueen: The Man and Le Mans." The late Brazilian Formula One racing driver Ayrton Senna was also featured in the tragic documentary "Senna" which featured some of the most exhilarating racing footage ever committed to celluloid. Sylvester Stallone's "Driven," Ron Howard's "Rush," and James Mangold's "Ford v Ferrari" have all been valiant attempts to bring audiences into the driver's seat.
Next up, Brad Pitt is set to star in a new Formula One movie directed by Joseph Kosinski who is just coming off the monumentally successful "Top Gun: Maverick.

Michael Nader wrote the script for one of the more interesting and overlooked monster films of the last couple of years, Head Count. Now he’s back with The Toll, which he not only wrote but is the first feature he’s directed after several shorts.
The Toll is the latest entry in the “ride share from hell” genre that includes the likes of Spree, Ryde and Driven. And like the last of those films, this one has a supernatural edge to it that separates it from the majority of these films which rely exclusively on all to human monsters.

After swatting back the Covid-19 scourge to some extent, Puerto Rico opened its ports in June 2020. With the year-long curfew lifted in May this year, it’s been business as usual on this Caribbean island of roughly 3,500 square miles.
The capital of San Juan held its first live audience concert on June 26, 2021 with salsa icon Gilberto Santa Rosa playing to thousands at the Puerto Rico Convention Center for the first time since the pandemic closed it down. According to Asm Global regional manager Jorge Perez, 15 other concerts have been announced, with 10 already sold out.
International acts are also coming in as most U.S. mainland venues remain closed. Plunging cases and a relatively high vaccination rate (up to 70%) has brought some semblance of normality and a growing number of location shoots to the U.S. territory, albeit with health and safety protocols still in place.

Even though the new biopic “Driven” chronicles the worst chapter of John DeLorean’s life, director Nick Hamm believes the engineering prodigy turned disgraced automobile magnate would be delighted with the film.
“I think he would probably be quite amused and quite sort of happy,” Hamm told Variety at the movie’s premiere at the ArcLght Cinemas in Hollywood on Monday night. “Because he comes across quite well. He’s rather an endearing character and I think he would find the whole thing quite humorous. This ludicrous lifestyle and this ludicrous car, that story was made into a movie in Hollywood. He was a showman and if there’s anything else that this town is about, it’s showmen.”
Inspired by real-life events, “Driven” follows the spectacular downfall of DeLorean, once a rising star in the automotive industry of the 1970s and ’80s. Known for his lavish and flamboyant lifestyle,...
