Trucker Major Feature in PTC Challenge Magazine

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

ptcmagazineMichelle Monaghan and “Trucker” are the feature article (and front page) for the August PTC Challenge magazine.  We’ve posted part of the article below.

“Michelle was so dedicated to the part of Diane Ford,” says Mottern. “I asked her if she would take a few driving lessons and not only did she agree, but she insisted on getting her driver’s permit so she could operate the truck during filming. And she did! At the time she didn’t even know how to drive a stick shift but damned if she didn’t get her permit and get in that truck and pull it off. You should’ve seen her on the splitter. It would’ve taken your breath away. So every time you see Michelle driving in the movie, it really is her driving. No filming trailers, no computer graphics, nothing. Just Monaghan behind the wheel.”

“It was amazing,” says an enthusiastic and proud Monaghan. “I was one of those kids growing up who pumped her arm up and down when the truck came past, and now it was me behind the wheel. My dad and brother both have their CDL so they were really impressed. I was so nervous my first time on I-10. I can’t even drive a regular stick shift but now I can drive an 18-wheeler. Reverse parking was the hardest, and double clutching. I hope truck drivers know that I appreciate what they do.” (more…)

Trucker Heads to NYC

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

June 16, 2009 Thousand Oaks, CA- monterey media is pleased to announce the premier theatrical release of Trucker starring Michelle Monaghan, opening October 9th in New York City. The film, which was an official selection at Tribeca Film Festival, received rave reviews for both the directorial debut of James Mottern and a tour de force performance by Ms. Monaghan.

“Trucker is a star-making performance for Monaghan, much the same as Working Girl once put Melanie Griffith on the map. Look for a lot of awards buzz on her this fall. James Mottern’s directorial debut is refreshing, unsentimental, and unforgettable. Bravo!” – FOX News (more…)
