(New York) Award-winning filmmaker Terry Gilliam will premiere his short film
"The Legend of Hallowdega" starring David Arquette and Justin Kirk with special
appearances by Dale Earnhardt Jr., Darrell Waltrip and more on October 31st,
2010. The film, produced by AMP Energy Juice and @radical.media, will premiere
on Halloween Sunday with the first chapter to debut on ESPN just prior to the
start of the AMP Energy Juice 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. Starting Halloween
night, the film will be available in its entirety on www.legendofhallowdega.com.
"The Legend of Hallowdega" is the first short film for both Gilliam and AMP Energy
Juice.
"AMP Energy Juice is fueled by great partnerships that include Dale Earnhardt
Jr., Talladega Superspeedway – and now, director Terry Gilliam,"
said Frank Cooper, Chief Consumer Engagement Officer, PepsiCo Americas Beverages,
maker of AMP Energy Juice. "Terry has a distinctive vision and is a truly
gifted storyteller. AMP Energy Juice is proud to have produced his one-of-a-kind
take on the legends and lore that surround Talladega Superspeedway for race
fans and film buffs everywhere."
Director Terry Gilliam added, "To bring our little circus into the world
of a truly monster circus was a thrill."
The comedy, "The Legend of Hallowdega", explores the mysteries around Talladega
Superspeedway as the host of an investigative news show (Justin Kirk) joins
forces with a techno-geek paranormal expert (David Arquette) to dodge close-calls
and chase crazy leads to get to the bottom of "The Legend of Hallowdega".
"The great folks at AMP Energy Juice have developed a new and innovative
idea to research and debunk some of the myths surrounding HALLOW-DEGA,"
said Talladega Superspeedway Chairman Grant Lynch. "We anxiously await
the release of the film to see what Terry Gilliam and AMP Energy Juice have
come up with."
"The Legend of Hallowdega" reflects AMP Energy's continuing commitment
to support innovative talent in the creation of unique entertainment.
