Go Speed Racer

NZ director Roger Donaldson is bringing the life of Invercargill’s legendary motorcyclist Burt Munro to the silver screen, with Sir Anthony Hopkins in the starring role. Entitled The World’s Fastest Indian (after the 1920 Indian bike Munro spent decades building), the film is a tribute to the man who broke numerous land-speed records in Utah in the 1960s, and continued racing until the age of 76. Production begins in August.
