Hi Everyone,

Thanks so much for all of the positive responses about taking part in the filming. We are all very excited here at October Films!

More details to follow in the next couple of weeks but in a nutshell:
- We will need lots of American vehicles from 1970s - 2000s and police cars are great too.
- All those who take part will be paid.
- Filming will be in Southampton area (TBC on exact locations but we are looking at locations near Winchester University).
- We are recreating 4 American locations/settings for 4 different stories including California in the 1980s/1990s, Louisiana in the 2000s, Nashville Tennessee in the 2000s and New York in the 2000s.
- Filming will start on 27th July (a Saturday) and finish on 9th August.

Unfortunately I can't see all of the pics of cars that people have posted on this thread so it would be great if anyone who is interested could email me at: Marguerite@octoberfilms.co.uk with a pic/age of vehicle, where they are based and availability between 27th July - 9th August.

I will post on here again soon and when I have a clearer idea of the exact types of vehicles we need etc.

Thanks again for the enthusiasm and I hope to see lots of you on filming days!

Best

[matt 103]

they phoned me and said they wud call me back not heard owt . I know dad has 3 days filmin and well worth it

 

[Neo53]

Jee. Didnt think many production companies in the UK would want normal cars, hahaaa See all y'all there!

 

[TransAmDan]

Well they know where to find us if they ever need our sort of cars again
They needed more cars which we don't have, so I have put them in touch with the can-am club to see if they can help.

 

[sarah]

So, spot one and two are taken.....just the third left now

 

[Neo53]

This is what they are filming about - Recent Productions

 

[sarah]

Nice find Neo Dan said it had something to do with stalking but that's all he knew.

 

[Darren]

It's a series for the Discovery Crime and Investigation channel.

 

[TransAmDan]

I wonder if my car will be used by a stalker or an axe murderer. Not long now. I'm on the 1st Aug.

Looking forward to seeing the club cars on TV. I may have to see if we can put their final episodes on the forum somehow, like a link to iPlayer, or equivalent for that channel.

I'm very tempted to do a write up on the main page or our experiences on this. Will be an interesting read for someone, also with many photos.

 

[Neo53]

I will be filming on the 30th, 31s, 1st and 2nd. This is god sent...

Dan, I bet if we talk nicely to the producers they will give us copies OR will direct us where we can view it. I would be SHOCKED if they say they can't help us out in that regard.

 

[sarah]

I'm so jealous my car car wasn't wanted.....they said it was too sporty looking!! I wouldn't say that in her current condition!

 

[Neo53]

Too sporty?! But....they are common and seen regularly. :lalala:

I am going to have to remove all my decals (although I will try to sneak one thing on, bwaahahaa). D'oh! But I have to re-do/remove them all anyway regardless of the filming. Bleh.

....now I muse over the idea of what to replace them with after filming? Hmmmm....

 

[TransAmDan]

If they didn't want sporty, then why choose mine. Unless the actor is a pimp and there is only one in town. lol.
If I had to remove the stripes there would be a ghost of it on the paint where the rest of the paint has faded.

What are you gonna sneak in Neo? you could leave a snake on the dash, so when the actor hops in, he gets out very quick.

Going to try and keep the bits above the front wheel wells on. Just would like an identifying mark that isnt extremely obvious (ie. the big silver SATURN script across the sides of the boot). Because I feel like being a child....life's too darn short, dang it!

 

[TransAmDan]

I've not had any emails form the TV place yet, I'm meant to be there on the 1st Aug, still no direction on where to go. Has anyone else been given info? If I don't have it in a day or two I will email them.

 

[Neo53]

They eMailed me to tell me thst they cut one of my days :\ Have not recieved any further details.
