Currently in production, "The Stunt Driver" has Ed Helms playing a brilliant car engineer brought on to design a rocket-powered vehicle for what may be the most dangerous stunt in history.

The film is based on the true story of Montrealer Carter, the “Mad Canadian” stunt driver who tried to jump the Saint Lawrence River in a rocket car in the mid-’70s. Ken’s dream was to end his 30-year career with a big jump, a big paycheck, and mega stardom. In the process of accomplishing it, he hired a big sports manager and enlisted the best in rocket car design

Helms brings great depth and heart to the man in charge of safety for this massive jump, an island of reason in a sea of insanity.
