Win Tickets to Our Early Screening of ‘The Stunt Driver’ and Q&A
Collider is proud to announce that we’re teaming up with IFC to offer Los Angeles an advanced opportunity to see The Stunt Driver, starring Jay Baruchel, ahead of its official release date this month. The movie, which celebrated a premiere as part of this year’s Toronto International Film Festival lineup, reunites Baruchel with Goon writer-director Michael Dowse in a comedy drama based on the true underdog story of Ken Carter (Jay Baruchel), the world champion stunt driver who, in the seventies, tried to jump a mile over the St. Lawrence River in a rocket car.
If you’re in the Los Angeles area or have the means to get there, don’t miss out on this early screening, which is taking place on Thursday, September 17th. The screening is located at the AMC Century City and will begin at 7:00 p.m. Our own Steve Weintraub will moderate the Q&A after the movie.

What Is ‘The Stunt Driver’ About?
The Stunt Driver is set in the mid-70s and recounts the true and incredible underdog story of Canada’s Ken Carter, the world champion stunt driver, who battles personal demons and public doubt to attempt what everyone considers impossible — a mile-long jump across the St. Lawrence River in a rocket-powered car. The movie also stars Ed Helms (The Office) as Dick Keller, the car’s designer and technician, and Ben Foster, as Evel Knievel. In the vein of Free Solo or Fitzcarraldo, this is an underdog story about one man’s singular blinding passion to complete the impossible, to finish what he started. What’s both funny and tragic is that his mile-long jump, to anyone with two eyes, is completely impossible.
The Stunt Driver opens in theaters on September 25. Check back with Collider for more special event screenings.
