DeLorean Comes ‘Back’ To Film

No, there isn’t another Back to the Future coming, so wipe down the drool off your keyboard. What is coming is a biopic on John Z. DeLorean. Everyone knows him from his car that was featured so prominently in the Back to the Future films. What a lot of you might not know about is the famed designer’s back story. He started out engineering cars like the Pontiac GTO. From there, he moved on to Chevy & then started the DeLorean Motor Company. The company failed not long after it’s inception, only producing 9000 DeLoreans. In order to get cash to save his company, he turned to investing in drug smuggling. He was caught but successfully defended himself, claiming government entrapment. During his entire career, he was known as a maverick & a non-conformist. He was always bucking trends & not fitting in with the corporate upper-crust. It’s a pretty interesting story & now you’ll be able to see it on the big screen. You can see the Variety article here.
