..."Gran Torino" Movie

In USA Today (October 23rd) , in the D section on the front page is a poster which I attached below of Clint Eastwood's new movie.  Release date is December 17th, 2008.  You can clearly see that the car is a 1972 Gran Torino (black).  Needless to say, I'm totally pumped because I'm working on a black/black 351CJ Gran Torino Sport.  "Far Out" as we used to say in the 70s.

That is awesome!

There's no better advertising than Clint Eastwood kickin' butt in his Gran Torino Muscle car right?

Paul, I just saw the Gran Torino Movie Ad on TV and the 72 GTS is dark green with matching laser stripe. To bad, black would have looked a little more sinister on the big screen. They said on TV Clint could be up for an Oscar for this one and he definitely plays a grouchy old guy part.

Another home run by Eastwood. Doesn't look like he has lost anything as he ages.

Clint and the Torino were spotted by my friends a few months back in Grosse Pointe Mi, not to far from where I live. I guess they were shooting the movie in the area!

10 bucks on ebay, but its only 11x17

man that actually looks pretty good. hopefully i get the torino driving well so i can drive it to the movies hah

Ya, hold out for a while still.

I talked with the manager of our local Epic Theatre about snagging the movie poster for Gran Torino when it comes out.  He told me he'd save it for me, but that it would probably be faded, wrinkled, water stained by the time it came down.  As an alternative, he told me to go to the website: http://www.epictheatres.com/ after the movie comes out and at the bottom of the site there is a link that says buy movie posters.  I checked it out and they are all in the 24 x 36 inch range or larger, so that's where I'd suggest we'd go if we want to score a decent poster for our garages.

That's good news. I got the one from ebay and framed it. It looks awesome in the frame but out of the frame you can tell it was just printed out from a computer.

I got 2 starsky&hutch movie posters off ebay a while back and they are the real deal.You just have to read the fine print if they are repros or not and the size.

I know it opens Dec 17th, but I read that it will not be a full release. So check your movie guides that week 'cause it might not be opening everywhere.
