Check out the explosive action of Getaway starring Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez in this featurette

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

We're in the final days of the summer movie season and what better way to finish it off than a good, cheesy car chase flick? That's certainly what GETAWAY is hoping for, which is setting itself up to be nothing more than a fun thrillride to top off a pretty explosive summer…with more explosions! Starring Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez, and John Voight, the Courtney Solomon (AN AMERICAN HAUNTING) directed pic has a new featurette on deck that highlights the practical effects of the film, particularly in the brutal car chase sequences. All in a day's work.

Here's the synopsis:

Brent Magna (Hawke) must get behind the wheel and follow the orders of a mysterious man to save his kidnapped wife.

The odd pairing of Hawke and Gomez aside, this looks like a good romp. I wouldn't go into this expecting anything more than the same feeling you'd get at a crash-up derby or a two hour marathon of Mario Kart, which are some great ways to pass the time when you're feeling up to it. The only question is, are you feeling up to GETAWAY?

GETAWAY puts the pedal to the metal on August 30, 2013.
