Exclamation We Need More Cars For The Fast And The Furious 3!

URGENT: Casting Call for a Universal Studios Motion Picture
WE NEED MORE CARS FOR THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS 3!
Please read below.

** UPDATE **

We want to thank everyone who has made a submission. We have received hundreds of submissions over the past two days, and Universal has asked us to keep them coming!

Please continue to spread the word. All submissions will be directly forwarded to Universal for review - they need more!



** URGENT **

Dear AF ladies and gentlemen,

With very little time to spare before the shooting of the movide begins, we have been contacted by John Wiser of the Universal Picture Car Deperatment for "The Fast and the Furious 3" to aid them seek out more vehicles for the movie.

They are looking for as many right-hand-drive vehicles as they can possibly find. No matter the make/model or the condition, there will be a good chance that your RHD car will end up in the movie.

They are also looking for overall good-looking modified cars (preferably RHD but LHD also acceptable).

There is special demand for VIP type cars (dropped and modified Infiniti Q45, Toyota Chaser, etc.) and super-modified mini-vans. But again, we want to emphasize that you should absolutely contact us if you have a RHD vehicle of any type.

If selected, you will be compensated for use of the vehicle and they will not abuse the vehicle at any time.

Please help us spread the word about this casting call - click here and send this page to a friend:
http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbu...friend&t=458614

We absolutely require one photo (maximum of two) of the car (especially the side view). Please include a link to your photograph(s) in your submission.

Please be sure to include the location of the vehicle. Southern California is strongly preferred, but we will look at vehicles from anywhere between San Francisco to San Diego. As the cars will need to be in Los Angeles for shooting of the movie, submissions from out of state are not reasonable unless you are willing to bring the car to LA for an extended period of time at your own expense.

** IMPORTANT **
Format of the message you need to send us:

Your Name
Vehicle Year Make Model
Specify RHD or LHD (right hand drive or left hand drive)
Your Address
Link to a photograph of the car

Sample:

Bob Carguy
2000 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
LHD
2134 Mystreet Rd
Los Angeles, CA 90421

Hell, if Entourage can find a cool modded Hyundai Tiburon for the episode when Ari got fired
F-n-F should have no trouble finding cars.
Just my opinion, but if they're in Southern California and cannot find enough cars then that may be a clue that the F-n-F movies are played out.

no offense but do you honestly think that your car is "modified" enough to be in the Fast and Furious movie? From the past movies, all of the cars they've showcased were fully modified from the bottom up, left to right...Its pretty obvious who's car they will accept and decline.

While I may not really be a fan of the FF movies, for this release they are looking for JDM styled cars, predominately dorifto. They don't want the stickered, neon'd, nitrous'd ***** of poop like the last movie. If I remember correctly, the film is to be set in Japan and the stroyline is to revolve around downhill drifting.

Me personally i am NOT happy at all with seeing sc300 in the movie at all. I just hope its a small minor role if it does make it at all.

Id just hate to see the price of the car artificially go up, while its real value stays the same. Example A 1995 Supra 6 speed in good condition private party value is at 16 17k, yet I see people jack up the prices as much as 40k+ and even worse idiots that pay that much for it.

Now say something happens to that car.. you lose 20+ k?
