With a title like 'Drive Angry' it was going to take some very special cars to liven up things at the premiere of the movie that was to be held in Penang and some very fine exotica were on hand to make the drive up for the movie's premiere.
Drive Angry is one of the most anticipated movies of the year and has action star Nicholas Cage, William Fichtner and the sultry Amber Heard among its cast. It tells the story of Milton (Cage), a felon banished to the depths of hell that breaks out to avenge the cult that murdered his daughter and kidnapped his granddaughter to be sacrificed.
He is joined by Piper (Heard), a young waitress that helps him on his quest with her '69 Dodge Charger, a perfect complement to Milton's turbocharged '71 Dodge Challenger. They set out to search for the cult as Satan's right-hand man, The Accountant (Fichtner), and the police are hot on their trail.
Though the movie itself isn't very car-based, there are some nice American muscle examples that are highlighted during the course of the movie such as a Chevrolet Chevelle, apart from the Charger and Challenger.
The plan for the premiere was for a bunch of supercars from Kuala Lumpur to convoy to Penang where they would be on display to promote the movie. Zerotohundred.com were among the parties involved in getting the whole thing up and going, organising the whole drive up to Penang. Nef Movies, as the distributor, were heavily involved as well with the entire event offering the group with a cinematic experience in an exclusive private viewing theater.
The Time To Attack Finale Movie on the Big Screen!
The cars that joined the convoy were from the Blue Jackets driver's club and it was a blend of Ferraris and Porsches. Though it was mostly Ferrari F430s, the highlight was the latest from Maranello's stables, the 458 Italia. Zuffenhausen were not to be outdone and were well represented with a number of 911 Turbos, a Cayman S and a GT3 RS that belonged to club president Erwin Azizi.
The day started with the cars grouping up at the Sungai Buloh rest stop area on the North-South Highway where the cars were draped in the movie's promo livery for the drive up. Following that, it was a loose convoy with a couple of stops in between all the way to Penang before making the trip across the bridge to First Avenue mall, which were kind enough to allow the cars to be placed outside the entrance for display.
TGV Cinemas was the venue for the screening and after enjoying the movie, the convoy rocked on towards the Hard Rock Hotel Penang that provided accommodation for the party that night. Throughout the day, the supercars were attracting attention like men to porn everywhere they went.
On the whole, the entire event was a great success with the supercars being a good platform to promote the movie and Zerotohundred.com is glad to have been involved in getting the cars for the drive.
Be sure to check out the movie at your nearest cinema as it's already showing and don't forget to watch it in 3D as some of the key scenes are very focused on 3D special effects and would leave you on the edge of your seat.
