Revenge of the Electric Car to Launch With 10,000 Fans

Revenge of the Electric Car, the follow-up to Chris Paine's documentary Who Killed the Electric Car has a novel approach to gather traction for the film release slated for spring 2011.  They will release the trailer once they reach 10,000 fans on their  Facebook page.

According to their page:  "We just finished the trailer and plan to release it when we reach 10,000 fans. So far we have 5500 and counting..."

In 2006, as many as 5,000 modern electric cars were destroyed by the major car companies that built them.  Today, less than 5 years later, the electric car is back... with a vengeance. 
In Revenge of the Electric Car, director Chris Paine takes his film crew behind the closed doors of Nissan, GM, and the Silicon Valley start-up Tesla Motors to find the story of the global resurgence of electric cars.  Without using a single drop of foreign oil, this new generation of car is America’s future: fast, furious, and cleaner than ever. 

With almost every major car maker now jumping to produce new electric models, Revenge follows the race to be the first, the best, and to win the hearts and minds of the public around the world.  It’s not just the next generation of green cars that’s on the line.  It’s the future of the automobile itself.
