Griffin's Ferrari crash was a setup

Watch the dude standing behind the jersey wall. Don't think he knew the car was supposed to hit it?

Yeah it was strange that he didn't react.

haha, i hate fox news but that last snotty remark was funny.

theres no way that was staged.. the guy saw the crash coming from a mile away. its also funny that he blames the crash on eating a cone

Im going to go see that movie now.

I thought it was a setup maybe the car didn't look written off and for that kinda publicity it was probably cheap

What was the budget for the movie?
Car was probably worth more.:1orglaugh

"Brotha can't drive"

lol

I think the movie's budget was around 48 million, so no. I also read on another movie site where some guy from the set claimed the car was pretty damaged at the end of shooting and that they put a new engine in and 'patched it up' for the celebrity race/promo crash.

And my first thought after watching the clip yesterday was, "why the hell did they put a concrete barrier right there when you've got amateur drivers in million dollar cars?" I guess it was to protect that dude with balls of steel. He didnt even flinch.

He still could have been fucked up. Doubt it was staged

I thought it looked a bit strange when i first saw it too. Either way, brotha's can't drive for shit...

I was thinking to myself, who's this "Daniel Sedak fella and why doesn't he care too much about his $1.5 million car getting totaled.. bit of googling came up with this:

Turns out he is a real estate investor who's financing a movie starring Eddie Griffin and they will be using his personal collection of cars where "Sadek?s $200,000 Porsche Carrera GT will be crashed during one sequence."

All this is part of the movie, maybe even a marketing idea, just looks like the upgraded to a 1.5 million enzo instead :1orglaugh

That blog post is from April 2006 so this has been a long time coming.

I heard that they totalled TWO Porsche GTs making the movie. Like most people I had never even heard of this movie until the little PR stunt yesterday. I hear it's just this Sadek dude's pet project and he was getting zero buzz.

unexpected error (timezone) what should i set it to?

thats the great thing about being a comedian. it just gives him more content for his stand up.

yup just looked up who hewas too and this all looks like he's doing the whole 'paris hilton' attention whore thing. Looks like he has achieved that now.

Will it back fire? Be interesting to watch.

doubtful - looks like interest in him has increased quite a bit since the 'accident'

It's definately getting him attention, though I don't think it was staged, just an idiot driver! And the man behind the wall! That guy has to push a wheelbarrow in front on him to carry the boys! Didn't move a bit! WOW!

I dont think it was staged, it´s just that the guy was seeing his life flash by right before he was going to be crushed by a $1.5m Ferrari.

Shit 48 million thats a lot of money!

I'm still trying to figure out why you would purposely destroy a Carrera GT for a scene...

48 million isnt that much compared to some of these other movies and what they are spending up in the 100's of millions

Really a shame to see these exotic cars being destroyed for a film. There will only be the 400 Enzo's and 1100 CGT's built.

I think it was a setup too

What isn't a setup these days?

They used to use kit cars for crashes

What a waste

Some people just have money to burn i guess.

I don`t think it was a set up but you never know,right ? too bad about the car although...
