Bus Movie (Now with syncros)

1
Bus Movie

This is the story of a vehicle that became an icon. Anyone who has ever driven a VW Bus already knows that it's a tale of freedom, love, friendship, breakdowns and adventure.

How did a post-WWII German utility vehicle come to represent freedom and peace around the world?

In The Bus, we answer this question by allowing the vehicle to act as the main character, and the people it carries along the way to be its voice. The film begins in Germany with a simple sketch that would change the world forever. Next comes a wild ride that takes us through time following the evolution of the vehicle that has established a colorful and resonant place in modern culture. From Woodstock to Hollywood, and Burning Man to Baja, we find people from all walks of life who share their stories and passion for The Bus.

 That's the teaser Phill, so do we ever get to see this movie here?

So when's it coming to a cinema near you (or me)?
Just watching the trailer was pressing some positive buttons.Pleased to see T3 Syncros had a good showing.
I'll keep my eyes open for it and donate a bag of jaffas to whoever spots and shares its release here first.
Thanks Phil.

Greg,

Make sure that you have a multi region DVD player as this will probably be region 1.
Also may will need a multi format TV as it will probably be NTSC format.

The world is divided into regions (1=US 2=UK etc). Have a look at a DVD. It will say region 4. That is Australia. Some DVD players play multi regions and some don't. My normal DVD player will only play region 4 DVDs.

We use PAL system TVs. The seppos use the inferior NTSC (which stands for Never The Same Colour).

Some DVD players will convert PAL-NTSC. Some TVs will work and most wont.

NTSC  -  Never Twice the Same Colour
PAL    -   Peace At Last
