Lightbulb Film Distribution has unveiled trailer for the new British, Ewan McGregor-narrated, documentary, ‘Speed is Expensive: The Philip Vincent Story.’
The doc brings to the screen one of the most dramatic stories in automotive history – the rise and fall of designer Philip Vincent.
His motorcycles set more speed records during the 1940s and 50s than any other manufacturer. Some models now sell for over $1 million and owners include Brad Pitt and Ryan Reynolds.
Yet when Vincent passed away in 1979, he was largely unrecognized, penniless, and living in council housing in West London.
The feature documentary includes interviews with Jay Leno, Paul Simonon (The Clash) and the late John Surtees, and has won numerous festival awards.
Also in trailers – “I think about you all the time…” Teaser trailer drops for Todd Haynes ‘May December’
The doc will be released On Digital & DVD in the UK & Ireland from September 25.

Dazzler has debuted a new trailer for the documentary of the legendary Formula One racer Jack Brabham, which is getting a Blu-ray, DVD and Digital release on the 14th of June.
‘Brabham’ reveals the making of an icon, the forgotten godfather of modern Formula One racing, Sir Jack Brabham.
