As some of you may know, Damon Ristau of The Bus Movie fame is currently shooting a second feature documentary that will highlight the history of the VW Beetle. For anyone interested, I've started a thread about the movie here. I know filming kicked off at Mid America's FunFest last summer, so some of you may already know about it. If you are on Facebook, please help spread the word about this project. Damon is a great guy, and I'd love to help get the word out both here on the samba and on the official FB page. I've posted the link below. Thanks!

End of August is the most up to date thing I've heard... We've had to push it back since getting Ewan McGregor onboard for filming...

Just got an email update today. Rough cut almost done with an eye towards festivals with fall deadlines.

Any updates regarding the relase date?

EDIT:
I found some news myself. Damon did the filming of some of the last scenes/interviews 3 days ago, so I think with the editing process we'll have to wait some more weeks/months until a relase date will be published!

I attended the world premier of the movie last night and I have to say it is pretty good. It tells the story about a local guy who buys a barn find bug from a widow and restores it, along with interviews with other VW folks, history of the bug, some of the old advertising from print and TV, which is really great. It starts out by saying "Please don't play slug bug for the next 80 minutes." Good stuff. I was unable to find out if it is going to be released on video, or on TV. I noticed a few familiar names in the credits, including Everett's and others. Catch it if you can.

Tomorrow is the end of the summer and I'm still waiting for my copy of the movie, plus my free copy of the bus movie which was part of the sponsorship package. In a couple of months it will have been three years since the movie project was announced.

I checked their fb page, the production company's website, google... Can't seem to find any link to buy/download a copy anywhere. Nor any info on where/when it will be available. This movie would be great entertainment for the cold season...
