About the original Italian Job
True to the Italian-based original, the opening scenes of the film are shot in Venice and the Italian Alps but then the film moves swiftly to LA where the Mini brought the city to a standstill - two blocks of Hollywood Boulevard were closed down in order to allow filming of what promises to be the most exhilarating and exciting car chase of the year. "We literally controlled those streets for a week, and that's a big deal" said producer Donald De Line. "We had 300 cars and several armoured trucks on the ground, helicopters flying low overhead, and motorcycles and Minis driving over the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Sidewalk."
Trevor Houghton-Berry, general manager Mini UK said "Making a new film called The Italian Job is bound to draw comparisons with the classic film. The new Italian Job is definitely inspired by the classic film, but in no way seeks to compete with a movie that is undoubtedly one of the great icons of British cinema. However one thing both films do have in common is a love of the Mini and what a Mini can do, both on and off the road. The car chase scenes are fantastic and it's worth going to see the film just for the Minis alone." Three Minis appear in the film one Chili Red Mini Cooper S, one Pepper White Mini Cooper and one Indi Blue Mini Cooper. BMW Group provided Paramount with 32 Minis for filming. The
Italian Job will be released in the U.S.A
at the end of May and will arrive in the UK in
September.

Supporting
the Mini Coopers in the 2003 film are Mark
Wahlberg, Edward Norton, Charlize Theron, Jason
Statham, Seth Green, Moss Def and Donald
Sutherland. Surely there should have been a role
for Minnie Driver - alright no more gags. Before
the cast were allowed to get their hands on a
Mini, the film's director F. Gary Gray insisted
on sending his actors to a driving school so
they could better understand how to work with
new Mini. 
Minis are
used as getaway cars in L.A to carry stolen bars
of gold. Weaving in and out of traffic,
performing spectacular jumps and even driving
down the Hollywood Boulevard subway entrance,
the Minis survive a series of narrow escapes and
prove themselves to be the real heroes of the
film.
