Terry Gilliam’s Hallowdega: *The* Halloween sports highlight
BuckBokai’s not sure from exactly where Terry Gilliam’s apparent recent interest in NASCAR racing came from, but if it means a new Gilliam flick on Halloween, who cares?
Reads press material, in part:
“For decades, legend and lore have swirled around the 2.66 miles of asphalt that make up racing’s fastest track: Talladega Superspeedway. This Halloween, in celebration of the AMP Energy Juice 500 at Talladega on October 31st, the world will learn the truth.
“[The Legend of Hallowdega], presented by AMP Energy Juice, is directed by Terry Gilliam and stars David Arquette and Justin Kirk, with special appearances by Dale Earnhardt Jr., Darrell Waltrip and more.”
The first part of the “filmette” will be shown on ESPN right before the 1pm Talladega 500 broadcast. And the entire film will be available a few hours later at LegendOfHallowdega.com.
Why will this be so bitchin’? It’s Terry Gilliam, man! Plus, it’s certain to have 100% nothing to do with this:
It’s all still Jimi Hendrix to me.
