Looks like Eddie Griffin hasn't been coached well enough by the PR people for his film Redline. Griffin missed an obvious opportunity to use the movie's tagline, "Fear Nothing. Risk Everything" to explain why he crashed a Ferrari Enzo during a charity event to promote the movie. Instead, he answers inquiries as to what happened with, "The brother can't drive." Nice. See the interview in its entirety here.

We brought you info about the crash last night, but now we have a link to video interview of Eddie talking about the incident. Click the read link or the image above and then find the VIDEO link in the box at the lower right of the page. For review, check out the original crash video after the jump. There are also photos of the car before the incident in our Redline gallery from the L.A. Auto Show if you want to remember the Enzo in better days. Be forewarned, however, that the Porsche Carrera GT crashed ON PURPOSE for the movie is featured in that gallery, as well.

Thanks for the tip, D Love!

Fear Nothing. Risk Everything. So goes the tagline for Redline, the movie that has been described as The Fast and The Furious for adults exotics. Producer Daniel Sadek is a former real estate investor with a pretty nice personal collection of supercars and exotics. We saw some of them on display at the recent L.A. Auto Show.

Sadek not only put up $26 million of his own money to finance the film, but also used his personal car collection in action sequences, including a crash sequence that claimed the life of one of his very nice Porsche Carrera GTs. While this type of senseless destruction makes us want to take all of his keys away, we understand Mr. Sadek will probably explain it was necessary for the film's authenticity.

Shot in Las Vegas and L.A., the movie revolves around high-stakes underground street racing. We recognized the Ferrari dealership at The Wynn and the old El Toro airbase from the video. Although the acting looks typically passable, the cars alone make this a must see. We've spotted a Ferrari Enzo, Saleen S7 Twin Turbo, Koenigsegg CCR, Ford GT, Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster and Mercedes SLR McLaren, among others.

Redline is set for a February 23rd release and stars Eddie Griffin, Nathan Phillips, and the oh-so-hot Nadia Bjorlin. As is the norm nowadays, the movie has its own MySpace page where you can find out its likes and dislikes as well as seeing a few additional images and clips.

There's a small gallery of some of the film cars available by clicking on the image above and one of the film trailers is after the jump.

Sibling-site Luxist  has posted this flinch-inducing piece: Daniel Sadek, a real estate investor, is also producing the upcoming Eddie Griffin vehicle, Redline, an automotive-centered thriller. But not only is Sadek putting up a good amount of money for the movie itself, some of his cars will be used in the film as well, including a couple of Mercedes-Benz McLarens, a Ferrari Enzo and a Lamborghini Murcielago. Oh, and his $450,000 (see Comments) Porsche Carrera GT is set to be crashed in one scene.

Say it isn't so, Sadek!

(Thanks for the tip, Noah)
