Re: in miami

Pete, what exactly are they filming in Miami? I know it's Miami Vice but what type of scene. How many boats are there? Will they put on a mock race? Or just a wet pits scene?

Re: in miami

I spoke to my father this morning who is down there and supposedly they're picking about 6 boats to do the actual race scene. I heard that they set up a 2 mile course and that the water is supposed to be nasty today.

Also there are a bunch of boats that are going to be doing the winner's circle and that is supposed to be filmed tomorrow.

Re: in miami

Typhoon,Castaway,The Switch, Team Fischer, Bacardi Silver,Flying Tigers,Mid America, Lucas Oil, Spiderman, Lightning Jacks craned in this morning at 4 a.m. They are filming a mock race off South Beach. Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx were hanging with all the teams this morning while the cameras were being set up. You would not believe the amount of people on the set, no wonder it costs millions to produce a movie. Big Eddy

Re: in miami

I think this film is probably going to attract many high performance boaters do to the people who are involved in it. Hopefully it will be portrayed well enough to not discredit the sport of Offshore Powerboat Racing or High Performance Boating for that matter. Looking forward to seeing it in theaters sometime soon. I wonder if Candy and Hollywood will get a cameo in the film.

Pete B.,
Were you able to snap anymore photos???

Re: in miami

CMS was the boat used for the initial scenes filmed during the Miami race in April.

They stripped off the CMS stickers and had yell/blk Mojo and a cple of japanese/chinese(?) stickers on it as well.

Re: in miami

I spoke to my dad this evening and he said that the boat they used for colin Ferrel was a new MTI that was designed specifically for this movie. He also said he spoke with JT who is actually running the boat in the movie and there were 7 camera guys in the hatches and canopy and he also said that as they were heading out of the cut that they were screaming bloody murder because it was so rough.
