Video: Revenge of the Electric Car trailer

   Press ReleaseLate last month the filmmakers for “Revenge of the Electric Car” announced that the highly anticipated trailer for the film will have its world premiere online when the film’s Facebook Fan page  gets its 10,000th fan.“We’re absolutely amazed at the amount of support we’ve gotten in the last couple weeks and how quickly we reached our 10,000 fan goal,” says Director Chris Paine, “we did this to give our most loyal fans the first look at the trailer- they’ve supported us for a long time and deserve to see it first.”The trailer for the film is now available online via YouTube:   The trailer also features optional captions in multiple languages, such as Spanish, French, Serbian/Croatian, German, and Hungarian. Additional languages will be added in the near future to make the trailer accessible to more audiences around the world, which have emerged after the global success of “Who Killed the Electric Car?” Currently, “Revenge of the Electric Car” is in post-production with principal filming completed for the eagerly awaited 2011 release.http://www.cardecalsus.com/autoboss-v30
The trailer introduces the four main characters in the film: Bob Lutz, former Vice Chairman at GM; Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors; Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Nissan; and Greg “Gadget” Abbott, an auto enthusiast who independently converts gas cars into electric vehicles. For two years, the film crew followed these individuals and the stories of the electric cars they have been struggling to create and bring to market, including the Chevy Volt, the Nissan LEAF and the Tesla Roadster and Model S.“Revenge of the Electric Car” is the new feature documentary film about electric cars by Chris Paine, director of the 2006 film, “Who Killed the Electric Car?” Slated for release in early 2011, “Revenge of the Electric Car” tells a new story of the global resurgence of electric vehicles and takes audiences behind the closed doors of Nissan, GM, and the Silicon Valley start-up Tesla Motors: documenting the high-stakes race to be the first to bring electric vehicles to the masses. The film is not a sequel to “Who Killed the Electric Car?” but rather follows a new chapter in the history of electric cars with all new characters, cars, and stories.The film’s production company, WestMidWest Productions, plans to self-distribute the film instead of relying on a larger studio for the release: a new trend in films released outside of the traditional studio system. “We want to create a link with the film’s fans and connect to them directly,” says Executive Producer Stefano Durdic, “a Facebook promotion like this and other efforts online are part of a new era of promoting films independently, and we’re excited to be a part of this new generation of filmmakers who are taking control of more aspects of a film’s distribution.”WestMidWest Productions is a Chicago-based film production company, producing “Revenge of the Electric Car” and distributing the film in 2011.
