Charlize Theron isn’t just an accomplished actress and many-time Most Beautiful Woman in the World. She’s also a self-billed adrenaline junkie and she likes fast cars, which you probably guessed from her obsession with the “Fast and Furious” franchise.
When she’s not doing movies, Theron has gotten into production work as well and her latest credit is one for executive producer of “Hyperdrive,” the latest series / reality show from Netflix. It is now available for streaming and it’s getting a solid response from the auto community, what with the combination of drama and nearly-impossible stunts. And crashes, there are also plenty of that, as well.
To boost interest in the series even more, Theron sat down for an ad that plays out like a prescription drugs commercial. Only that the drug sold now is pure adrenaline and may cause side effects like “dizziness, nervous nail-biting and yelling at your screen.”
“If you like fast cars, you’re not alone,” Theron says. “Buckle up for insane speed, daring obstacles, gut-wrenching mechanical failures, and heart-pounding races to the finish line. Hyperdrive is here to take you on the ride of a lifetime.”
She also warns that the series will probably be addictive, so you’ve been warned. The ad also includes footage from the series and is available at the bottom of the page as well.
The concept of “Hyperdrive” is unlike anything else on TV or streaming platforms right now. It features elite street races from all walks of life, including their background story (the reality show part) and their preparation for the “baddest automotive obstacle course ever built,” as Netflix puts it, and the final competition. At the end, a champion will be named.
Described as a combination of “The Fast and the Furious” and American Ninja Warrior, “Hyperdrive” sees Theron in the executive producer chair, but she also makes an appearance riding cars with a stunt driver.
