At the Cannes film festival this week, Box Office Films announced that the new $10m action adventure movie ‘RUN’ would feature the MG XPower SV supercar alongside stars RICK YUNE (The Fast and the Furious, Die Another Day) and SIMON WEBBE of pop band Blue, who is making his feature film debut.

The MG XPower SV is a pure race-bred, thrilling modern V8 powered supercar, built from technically advanced light-weight composites. The character of the car fully supports the excitement of the new film and with a sales order book full for the next six months, the SV is clearly going to appeal.

Filming will commence in July 2004 on director Andy Morahan’s (Highlander III: The Sorcerer, Tales From the Crypt) adrenaline-fuelled action adventure "RUN", and is based on an original screenplay entitled Ironman by Bob Boris and adapted by Craig Blake-Jones.

RICK YUNE heads the cast in the lead role of Harry "Mac" McKenna, an American bounty hunter who hits the streets of modern urban England searching for the truth only to find a non-stop nitrous-injected world, a beautiful but mysterious woman and more truth than he ever bargained for. Joining Yune is SIMON WEBBE of pop band Blue in the role of "Ringa" and STEVE HART.

Produced by Craig Blake-Jones and Graham Kelly for Box Office Films, "RUN" will shoot for 10 weeks in the UK and Russia and is budgeted at $10million.
