I have not seen it but I was asked if I would consent to having my car in the picture. I didn't do it because the shoot was in Hamilton. They needed period correct cars and they were most concerned about stock wheels, which my Rally II's are. My car ended up being  in the Spike TV commercials for Scream 2008 and ironically they changed the wheels and edited out all Pontiac identification in the final versions because Subaru was a sponsor of the show.

The movie came and went last fall. It opened and then crashed. It's coming out on DVD by the end of the month.

I saw that it was coming to DVD while at the video store on the weekend. I was surprised that it was coming out so soon. I'm looking forward to renting it.
