When a car owner registers with MovieVehicles.com, vehicle information and a photo known as a "hood shot" are collected and entered into a comprehensive database. When a specific type of vehicle is needed, studio officials comb though the database using a state-of-the-art search engine located at MovieVehicles.com's sister company, NationwidePictureCars.com. A custom search matches vehicle characteristics with cars needed for a particular shoot. "The next thing the vehicle owner knows, they're turning over their car keys to stars like Tom Hanks, Kim Basinger, Sylvester Stallone, or Sandra Bullock," says Kopilec. Indeed, the list of Hollywood heavyweights who have actually driven MovieVehicles on the set reads like a who's who in Hollywood. "Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise, Robert Redford and Sean Connery are just a few of the powerful stars that have jumped behind the wheels of our cars," says Kopilec.
Watch for MovieVehicles in the new Mariah Carey video "Loverboy" and the upcoming Disney release "Baby's in Black" starring Dustin Hoffman and Susan Sarandon.
After 17 years of working with "A" list stars and directors from the biggest studios in the business, Kopilec has amassed quite a collection of interesting stories and experiences involving his car stars.
