DVD Release of FASTEST Will Thrill Fans! Premiere Event Video‏

“The
movie is great.  It gives great emotion.  You will feel and taste what
MotoGP is really like.” – Valentino Rossi, legendary MotoGP racer

MALIBU, Calif. (Oct. 27, 2011) – The
critically-acclaimed MotoGP documentary FASTEST, narrated by Ewan
McGregor and the follow up to the smash hit “Faster”, is set to release
on DVD in the United States and Canada on Tuesday, November 15, 2011.
The DVD will be available online at the FASTEST website for $29.95 (plus s&h), and will include almost one hour of extras and behind-the-scenes footage. 

FASTEST debuted in the U.S. at The Deuce Lounge inside the Aria Resort
and Casino at City Center in Las Vegas on Friday, October 14, 2011. The
exclusive premiere was attended by Monster Energy athletes, Monster
Girls, and industry insiders. The film received rave reviews by all who
attended, and everyone was pumped to watch the thrills and drama of
MotoGP unfold! Check out the recap video from the premiere to see what superstars like Jeremy McGrath and John Hopkins had to say about their experience at the event!

In true cinematic fashion, FASTEST is a maximum-speed, full-length film
capturing the thrilling, and sometimes terrifying reality of MotoGP
racing. From acclaimed filmmaker Mark Neale (“Faster,” “The Doctor, The
Tornado and The Kentucky Kid.”), along with award-winning producer Paul
Taublieb, the film charts Valentino Rossi’s quest for his eighth premier
class championship as he battles back from a horrific, leg-shattering
crash to take on a wave of ferociously fast young riders and the
emerging stars of the sport, including Jorge Lorenzo, Ben Spies, Dani
Pedrosa, Casey Stoner, as well as Marco Simoncelli, in whose memory
FASTEST is now dedicated.  With unprecedented access and
never-before-seen footage, FASTEST asks the question every rider – even
the greatest of all time – must face: who’s fastest now?  FASTEST.  The
greatest feeling. The greatest risk.

Never-before-seen footage in the almost one-hour of DVD extras include:

- “Save!

- “Redneck Physics and Real Physics” with Colin Edwards and other MotoGP riders and insiders

-
“Yellow” a candid conversation with graphic designer Alberto Drudi and
Kevin Schwanz about Rossi’s colors and inspiration for his helmet
designs

- A profile of Riders for Health, official charity of FASTEST

- The long version of the FASTEST trailer, including footage not seen in the movie

-
And much more, including a go-kart battle between Rossi and his younger
brother, an in-depth analysis of Rossi’s career and the M1 bike with
Yamaha engineering legend Musao Furusawa, and former Playmate Lauren
Vickers’ personal guide to the riders of MotoGP and the personalities of
the paddock

The movie will also be available on iTunes and other digital download
platforms, and retail outlets throughout the US and Canada.
Internationally, the film remains in theatrical release in Europe,
Australia and other markets. The most up-to-date information regarding

“Good films about motorcycles are few in number, fewer still about
motorcycle racing but Fastest is, at least in my book, equal to On Any Sunday.” – David Miller, bikesportnews.com



"The behind the scenes footage will be viewed in years to come as hugely historical. Fantastic." - Toby Moody, MotoGP Announcer
