Ben Foster & Jay Baruchel in 'The Stunt Driver' Comedy Teaser Trailer

"He is most active in summer months, when large crowds gather to watch him jump automobiles over buses, trucks and other obstacles." Mongrel Media in Canada has unveiled the first teaser trailer for a new biopic comedy called The Stunt Driver, a story about Canada's stuntman Ken Carter. The Stunt Driver is the latest film by Canadian filmmaker Michael Dowse, best known for his films Fubar & Fubar: Balls to the Wall & What If, heading back to his Canadian roots for this. The film chronicles the daredevil stuntman Ken Carter's quest to execute a bold stunt launching a rocket car across the St. Lawrence River from Canada into the US in the 1970s, facing absurd challenges along the way. Jay Baruchel stars as Ken Carter, with Ben Foster as his American rival Evel Knievel, Ed Helms as Dick Keller, plus Laurence Leboeuf, Dan Bakkedahl, Joe Cobden, and Marc Beaupré. They actually shot this on location at the real St. Lawrence River jump point. Inspired by the 1981 doc film The Devil at Your Heels about Ken Carter, he also seems to be the inspiration for the character "Duke Caboom" in Toy Story 4. This is a genius teaser introducing him in an amusing old school documentary format with a hilarious voiceover. I'm sold! ?? This looks like a blast. // Continue Reading ›
