No, you're not seeing things. That is Sylvester Stallone in
that racing helmet. I know, I didn't believe it either, and
when I heard he was going to be doing a race car movie I figured
there wouldn't be much that would make me want to see the film, and
then I read two words - Gina Gershon. No matter what the movie
it can't be that bad as long as she's in it, and hopefully it will
be rated R and she gets naked.
Anyway, the story looks like your typical race car story:
New guy comes on the scene and learns from the old guy how to be
truly great. Toss in a love story or a dude stealing another
dude's girl and you've got "explosive action mixed with
compelling drama." Blah, blah, blah.
The racing scenes in the trailer do look pretty kick-ass as I'm
sure things have progressed a lot camera-wise since "Days of
Thunder," and even though it's written by Stallone, I keep
reminding myself that he did write "Rocky."
Sometimes Stallone is fabulous ("Rocky," "Cop
Land"), sometimes not so fabulous (too many to list), so it's a
toss-up on the excitement to see this film. But, there is the
Gina Gershon factor so you can rest assured I'll see it anyway.
