Eric Bana’s<\/b> documentary film about his love affair with a 1974 Ford Falcon GT Coupe (Love the Beast<\/i>) took a different turn when he wrapped his favorite car around a tree halfway through filming.<\/p>\n
As reported by The Daily Telegraph<\/a>, Bana, who will appear on the screen as Nero in Star Trek XI<\/i>, was filming his documentary Love the Beast<\/i> at the Targa Tasmania Rally in 2007 when he crashed his beloved car into a tree. Bana had been thinking more along the lines of a win, not a wreck, but he turned the mishap to his advantage. “Winning might have been more personally satisfying for me,” he explained, “but there’s no doubt that when I crashed the car, the director in me was quite thrilled about Act III.”Fortunately, Bana was uninjured, and he decided that the crash was a superior ending to that which he had originally planned. “I had a plan A, obviously,” he said with a laugh. “But I was also relinquishing myself to the documentary format. It was not my plan to nearly kill myself and my navigator and destroy the car. When that happened, I just had to roll with it. But I also have to admit that plan B was much better than plan A.”<\/p>\n Love the Beast<\/i> will debut in Australia on March 12, with a UK and US release to follow later in the year.<\/p>\n To read more, head to the article located here<\/a>.
