Excellent. I wonder when they are gonna post up their new sponsorships and black bike. I clicked on sponsors but didn't see a link or picture to the Vegas casinos.

Only remember KRJR running a 'fake sponsor' livery at some point last season (red and light blue if I remember well..but my memory could jolly well be fading) and the commentary going on about how Dorna had given permission for some bits of a movie to be shot during a real race. But don't know anything else. Am really curious as to whether that project actually went ahead and happened. A good movie would be great exposure for motogp. On the other hand if the movie's a lame one maybe better if it all gets scrapped.
 
OK...got really curious so here's what the internet movie database came up with:

Velocity (2007)
Lance King is the newest arrival to the MotoGP Championship racing series. His team is owned by a racing legend but is struggling to remain competitive against the deep-pocketed manufacturer teams. They search for money from new sponsors to no avail until someone approaches them and buys the team. The new team owner, Anna Zykov, is an intelligent and well prepared beautiful young woman who's father owns the Russian oil company, Venture Petroleum. Her arrival boosts the team in the MotoGP standings and Anna and Lance become a hot and glamorous couple within the paddock and out of it. Totally unbeknownst to Anna, her father also happens to be the head of the Russian Mafia. When he is arrested and all of his assets are frozen, Anna, Lance and his brother, Cameron, go to Moscow to "borrow" the cash out of her father's safe to keep the team going. Although racing motorcycles at the highest level in the world is a big part of the story, "Velocity" is much more than just a movie about the MotoGP scene. "VELOCITY" is the first dramatic feature film to be allowed inside the world of MotoGP racing . It is endorsed and produced in cooperation with Dorna Sports SL, the rights holder to the sport that 5.1 Billion people per year watch on television and attend during seventeen different events on five continents.

Exotic locations, beautiful women, and 250 horsepower racing motorcycles merge to reveal both the ecstasy and the terror of life in this insane fast lane; this is the world of MotoGP racing. Add to this a love affair, a heist and the Russian mob on your heels and you have a high octane escapade at 200mph! "VELOCITY" is the first and only film endorsed and produced in cooperation with Dorna Sports SL, the rights-holder for MotoGP and the driving force behind the sport that over 5 Billion people per year watch. Filming takes place in Italy, Spain, Holland, Germany, the U.K. Portugal, and Moscow during the 2006 season.


Hmmmm......could be great or could be crap. The plot doesn't bode too well but could be saved (in my eyes) if they do a good job with the actual Motogp stuff. Release date was originally intended to be spring of this year. Though there isn't even a cast listing up on its page so guess it'll have been postponed. Maybe they ran out of money keeping Kenny in the paddock last year!!!!!!

i'll wager it'll be pants
 
My bet is it will have:

1. hip-hop soundtrack
2. main character will have race winning celebrations that will make Rossi's look like nothing
3. he'll look like Hayden with gold BLING
4. he'll take this girl for a ride around town on his race bike.
5. he'll have his season winning bike from the year before, gold plated and hanging above his bed or fireplace
5. Some of the bikes will sound like 2 strokes
6. The team manager will be played by Sylvester Stallone, but Chuck Norris would be better (and kind of cool!)

so, the movie is going to SUCK

1) A hip hop soundtrack would be a tragedy....let's have some good old fashioned heavy metal. head bangs
2) No...he will be good and humble..he's the underdog remember? It'll be the big corporation-sponsored riders who celebrate rossi-style. And who'll rub our hero's nose in the dirt. (but hey..he gets the girl in the end)
3) I will never object to anyone looking like Hayden...mmmmm....
4) Yeah. He probably will
<

5) Really? Nahhhh...he won't have won the season before. No funds remember?
5 AGAIN - Can't you count???
<
) I hope LOTS of bikes sound like 2 strokes. Pity we won't be able to smell them too
<

6) Both Stallone and Norris would be awful....Jack Nicholson would be cool as the top team's evil crew chief. Our underdogs would have someone cute and kind.
