The Rippers dream is finally coming true. He has been wanting to make that for like 25 years.
Movie About PWC Racing To Be Filmed at 2010 World Finals – Participants And Spectators To Be Included!!!
July 20, 2010
The IJSBA has just received news that amounts to the biggest thing to World Finals and the sport of PWC Racing since, perhaps, the whole thing started. Former World and National Champion (and Hall of Famer as well as Hollywood stunt man, pioneer of the sport, and all around seriously awesome person), Larry Rippenkroeger has had his dream come true with his long conceived movie about PWC Racing now picked up and starting into production.
If it isn’t enough that Hollywood is making a feature film about PWC Racing, they are going to start shooting this year at the 2010 World Finals. Spectators, shopping crowds in the vendor alley, pit activity, and racing will all be captured by the camera lens for use in the movie. Additionally, competitors and their PWC are planned to be picked to stage some starts, turns, and race scenes.
Needless to say, we are VERY excited about this development. We will be bringing you more news as we get it. This is going to be one of the most exciting World Finals ever!
Hollywood coming to the World Finals
Below is the official press release we received from Larry Rippenkroeger (it was posted already as a standalone release for the IMD website to direct to):
Larry Rippenkroeger and producing partners, Kyle Collinsworth and Greg Pellerito will be attending this year’s World Finals accompanied by a film crew shooting footage to be used in a feature film entitled “Hot Water”.
According to Rippenkroeger “I’ve always wanted to bring some of the fun and excitement I experienced on the IJSBA tour to the big screen. We have a great script, a great director and are in the casting process with some of the top names in Hollywood”.
Hot Water will be directed by David R Ellis, who helmed last summer’s hit movie “The Final Destination” which grossed over $183 million worldwide. Although principle photography for Hot Water isn’t scheduled to begin until early 2011, Rippenkroeger and his production team did not want to miss the opportunity to capture the excitement of this year’s World Finals.
Further details are being worked out and the IJSBA will have updates as soon as possible. One more reason to attend the World Finals – you may get discovered!
