ZitatVariety reports that General Motors' Pontiac division has signed a deal with Revolution Studios to promote the spy thriller xXx and is negotiating to make its new redesigned GTO a co-star in the sequel.
A 1967 edition of the original supercharged muscle car receives considerable screen time in xXx as star Vin Diesel's primary mode of transportation. No deal with GM had been arranged when the film was written or produced.
After seeing trailers for the film, Pontiac execs quickly approached Revolution, with the help of entertainment media consultant Michael Kassan and agency Norm Marshall & Associates, to build a campaign around the pic as a way to make the new GTO appealing to younger buyers when it hits dealerships in late 2003 as a 2004 model. Pontiac sold the original GTOs from 1964-74.
The choice of the car was based around Diesel's character, an extreme sports star who is recruited to become a secret agent. It's also a favorite of Revolution partner and classic car buff Todd Garner.
Revolution isn't done looking at cars after this. The studio is auditioning wheels to appear as the talking Kit in its upcoming Knight Rider film.
