Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I'm gonna see it. Might be a good flick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassnetguy50 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 The GT40 story and Le Mans ‘66-69 is great. Just looked up credits for that movie, Shelby and Frey are not mentioned. How accurate can it be? It may not be a documentary but I am going to see it. Thanks for posting the trailer. Edit for correctness: Matt Damon is portraying Mr Shelby. Must have read the names too late at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Didn't Damon learn from True Grit that playing Texans is not his forte? A kid from Cambridge playing a Texan...isn't that cultural appropriation? LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 There are a t least 6 movies or documentaries on Amazon Prime about the GT40 and Lemans. Best Hollywood version is the one with McQueen. From the trailer I'd say this will be another Hollywoodized glamor thing. Don't expect it to be a historically correct depiction.

I miss read the credits, Matt Damon portrays Carol Shelby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Once they got the body shape right, they just buried Enzo with cubic inches. Used nascar's experience in making big blocks last for 500 miles running flat out turning left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
