Driven

Driven is a 2001 action drama film directed by Renny Harlin and starring Sylvester Stallone, who also wrote and produced. It centers on a young racing driver's effort to win the Champ Car World Series auto racing championship. Prior to production of the movie, Stallone was seen at many Formula 1 races, but he was unable to procure enough information about the category due to the secrecy with which teams protect their cars, so he decided to base the film on Champ Car.

Stallone now says he regrets making the film.

Plot

Halfway through the (Fictionalized) 2001 Champ Car season, rookie driver Jimmy Bly has already won 5 races. His brother/business manager Demille is seems more concerned with working out endorsement deals and press engagements than racing, putting tremendous pressure upon Jimmy. His success has also drawn the ire of the reigning champion and series points leader Beau Brandenburg, who believes he's not doing as well as he should because of his fiancée Sophia becoming "a distraction". He breaks up the engagement and he regains his winning ways.

Cast

Production

The film was mostly written in English language for the "educated audience," while Urdu had also been used at some parts. British director Michael Hudson developed the script based on the real-life events of actor Kamran Faiq, who would also appear and produce the film. The script was very difficult to write because Hudson had never been to Pakistan before, so he got Faiq's help in writing the script. The other cast included Javed Sheikh, Amna Ilyas, Adnan Shah Tipu, Rehan Sheikh, and Omair Rana. The film would be a co-production of Pakistan, Poland, UK and Russia.

Filming

Principal photography on the film was done in Lahore, Pakistan, the location was chosen by the director who thought the script was a perfect fit in the country. In May 2015, filming was underway.
