Ernest “Jazzman” Resendes sent in the following:
In the June 2001 issue of RACER there is a profile on racing movies by Adam Cooper entitled LAST ACTION HEROES. Some excerpts …
“Sylvester Stallone and director Renny Harlin faced a long , hard struggle to realize their pet project that originally began life with an F1 theme.”
“…Of course, Stallone knows a little about sports movies. In 1976 he shot to stardom on Rocky , a project he conceived and fought to bring to life, and which earned the best picture Oscar. Will Driven be a knockout ?”
Former Indy 500 winner and formula 1 Champion Jacques Villeneuve makes a cameo appearance in Driven.
Thanks to Jazz for the tip! – Craig Zablo (May 21, 2001)
