32 HOURS 7 MINUTES - UPDATE #2

A number of months ago we posted information about a very intriguing film, 32 Hours 7 Minutes. Not only the title of the film, it is essentially the record time it took a bunch of adrenaline junkies to drive from Los Angeles to New York on October 15, 1983. Since our posting we have received emails asking when the film is going to be released. Keeping in mind that we at United Nathan Productions have nothing to do with the film. We are, however, just as interested as everyone else out there, so we contacted the filmmakers. Here is the response we received...

Hey Nathan,

Glad to see there are still interested parties out there. We are really pushing for a finished film and hope to be done in 2007. As for a release date, a lot of factors play into that (distribution, festivals, etc.) but I suspect that we will have some news this spring. Maybe even a new trailer.

I wish I could tell you more but I wouldn't want to ruin the film for you! Thanks again for the continued interest. We won't let you down.

Cory Welles
Director, 32 Hours 7 Minutes

If that isn't enough information for you, check the film's website for an updated gallery of photos from the actual race. Don't forget to watch the trailer or sign up for the newsletter.

32 HOURS 7 MINUTES - UPDATE

32 Hours 7 Minutes is the record time it took to drive from Los Angeles to New York on October 15, 1983. We posted information on the film of the same name back in January. Since then we have waited with anticaption for news on the release of the film. Turns out the filmmakers are trying to get a theatrical release. Good luck to them. Failing that, the film will be released on DVD. Whichever is first, we will be the first in line to see it. Check the film's website for an updated gallery of photos from the actual race.

CAR WEEK: 32 HOURS 7 MINUTES

32 Hours 7 Minutes is the record time it took to drive from Los Angeles to New York on October 15, 1983 during the last running on the US Express (originally 'The Cannonball Run'). Die-hard adventurer Erwin G 'Cannonball' Baker, the greatest cross-country record breaker of them all, set 143 American distance records including a 53 and 1 half hour coast to coast solo drive averaging over 50 mph - in 1933! Inspired by the great man and in defiance of the then introduced 55 mph US speed limit, rebellious journalist Brock Yates launched the Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash. Later the race became known as the US Express, but the Los Angeles to New York route remained intact. 20 years after the final race, the footage was put together to create the gripping documentary, 32 Hours 7 Minutes.
