You may know of Eric Bana, the acclaimed actor who starred in such big-budget movies as "Troy," "Hulk" and "Munich." And, you'll see him in "Star Trek" and "Funny People" this summer. But at the Tribeca Film Festival you'll also see his directorial debut: Eric Bana directs and co-stars in "Love the Beast" with, well, the Beast, Bana's life-long friend.
So who is this mysterious Beast? A 1974 Ford XB Falcon Coupe.
Bana's lesser known passion is racing. Beginning in his family garage in Melbourne, the story unfolds all the necessary components of a good love story: friendship, adversity and self-discovery. Get a taste of the film in the trailer above, plus see a clip from the film that stars Jay Leno and the loves of his life below.
