DRIVEN PREMIERE: CALLING ALL SZoners

Craig / / 2001, Driven

I’ve received word from Greg Spotts, who has spearheaded the Driven Street Team Publicity (and who provided us with Driven magnets and postcards), that on April 16th, Driven will premiere at Mann’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood. They will close down Hollywood Blvd. so that Champcars can rocket down the street in front of the theater!
I know that we have SZoners who can attend given enough notice… so here’s hoping this is notice enough! If you are able to attend, we’d love to hear from you!

SLY: UNINTIMIDATED

Craig / / 2001, Celebs, Driven

Sly appears in the April 10, 2001 issue of the National Enquirer. The picture above accompanies a short “exclusive interview” by Beverly Williston. The “interview” consists of six sentences by Sly… he says:

1. Dale Earnhardt was the “best in his field” and he hopes that Driven pays tribute to race car drivers.
2. That when you drive the cars “you’re lying down feet first.”
3. That once in “you are literally locked into these machines so there’s a sense of being nailed in a box with no exit except with the help of others.”
4. If the worst happens and “…you get into a crash its quite difficult to release yourself.”
5. Being in the car is “…very confining and claustrophobic.”
6. Finally about co-star Estella Warren, Sly said, “Estella is going to have a charmed life.”
