Red Cars By David Cronenberg

When you're done ordering the unedited UK DVD of A History of Violence, keep your credit card handy as I found some more more Cronenberg for you to shell out on.

David Cronenberg's script for Red Cars tells the story of Phil Hill, an American who raced for Ferrari in 1961, and won the world championship. More Fast Company than Crash, the project appears to be another labour of love for the car-bent writer-director. Sadly, it does seem to have come to rest as a script, with no sense that it is going to be produced - executives and money men are seemingly as tied to Cronenberg "doing" sex and violence as his "fans" are.

Edizioni Volumini have published the full script as a lavish, lavish, lavish coffee-table crusher, full of fetishistic photographs, cutaway illustrations and "rare, iconographic material" they borrowed from the Ferrari archives. You'll even get a die-cast replica of the Ferrari 156 F1, whatever that is (It's a car, right? Yeah. It's an old car).

The book was limited to 1000 numbered copies and is priced accordingly. Buy it for an Uncle but keep it for yourself?
