Get the Speedometer Perked for 'Sex Drive'
Filed under: Comedy », Posters »
The Teeth poster that Erik shared earlier today might have been too risque, but how about an obvious phallic joke? Yesterday, MTV released a poster for Sex Drive, and subtle it ain't. To the right you can see the graphic for the poster (which you can view in its entirety over at MTV). A full-mast sex drive that's coming soon? At the very least, this should be a very good indication of what sort of humor you can expect from the film.Speaking of, the flick focuses on a kid who meets a girl online, one who sends him the eloquent message: "U Drive All the Way Here 4 Me ... I'll Go All the Way with U." So, of course, the kid hits the road with his friends to do all the things that this poster implies. I sure hope he got other messages to convince him. At the very least, some sort of: "Are
Josh Zuckerman stars as the deluded teen, and is joined by the likes of Amanda Crew, Clark Duke, James Marsden, and Seth Green as an Amish dude.
Seth Green Goes Amish in 'Sex Drive'

It's funny, I was just thinking about Seth Green the other day -- not the usual run of things I can assure you, but as I was watching Radio Days, I couldn't help but be impressed by Green's career over the years. But as funny and talented as I think he is, I've got a bad feeling about anything that even remotely involves Fall Out Boy and the somewhat tired premise of a teen sex romp. MTV movie blog recently got the chance to visit the set of the teen/road flick Sex Drive, and scored a closer look at Green and members of the pop-rock band hard at work.The film centers on a horny teen who takes a road trip with some friends so he can lose his virginity to a girl he knows online -- you know, that old chestnut. The flick was written and directed by Sean Anders, who only has a few credits to his name, but when one of them is a cult comedy about Christian Rock and frozen foods, it tends to stick in your memory. Drive also stars Josh Zuckerman as the aforementioned horny teenager, James Marsden, and Amanda Crew (John Tucker Must Die).
So, you might be wondering what Fall Out Boy has to do with all of this? (Well, other than an appearance on the Sex Drive soundtrack.) Turns out that FOB makes an appearance in the film as themselves, and Green will play an Amish "eccentric" who helps them out when their tour bus breaks down. Wow, this really isn't getting any better is it? But what should I expect from a teen sex comedy with the uninspiring title of Sex Drive? The only bright spot by the looks of things is going to be Green's performance as a whacked out Amish kid who has no intention of ever ending his Rumspringa. Sex Drive is scheduled to arrive in theaters this October.
James Marsden Has a Wicked 'Sex Drive'

How far would you go to shack up with someone you met on the internet? Though it's kind of embarrassing to admit (and my fellow Cinematical writers will torture me for this), back in college during my sophomore year I flew all the way to Utah to meet up with a girl I met online. Three months of chatting through a computer screen? Check. Three months of talking on the phone? Check. Pictures? Check. But when I finally went all the way out there, I learned that she and Utah were very different from anything I'd ever experienced in New York. Suffice it to say, after six days of shooting guns, visiting square-dancing clubs, feeding rats to snakes and witnessing more than one fight in a Denny's parking lot, I left Utah and never spoke to her again. But anyway ....
... The Hollywood Reporter tells us Josh Zuckerman (Feast), Amanda Crew and James Marsden will star in Sean Anders' teen sex comedy Sex Drive. The concept? "... an unlucky in love teen meets a girl on the internet who sends him the message "U Drive All the Way Here 4 Me ... I'll Go All the Way with U." Guess what happens next? Yup, our teen, named Ian (Zuckerman), convinces his friends to drive from Chicago to Knoxville so that he can lose his virginity to this girl with a dazzling vocabulary. If Marsden signs on (he's still in talks), he'd be playing Ian's brother. Yeah, so it's like Road Trip meets ... Dateline's To Catch a Predator series? Sweet! Right now it looks like filming will begin by the end of the year off a screenplay written by Anders and John Morris (who's also producing). So, would you drive half-way across the country for that?
