The sci-fi film "Back to the Future" featured a time-traveling sports car that was actually mass-produced in real life, but the company went bankrupt before the movie was even released. The founder of the company was John DeLorean, a British man who was once hailed as the most daring car merchant in history, and possibly the biggest car swindler in history. Recently, a documentary titled "Creating John DeLorean" was released with its first trailer (exclusive translation by Time.com in Chinese). In the documentary, Alec Baldwin, the star of "Mission: Impossible 6" and frequent impersonator of Trump on TV, plays John DeLorean himself, while Morena Baccarin, the star of "Deadpool," plays his supermodel wife. "Creating John DeLorean" is not a straightforward documentary; it includes interviews with John DeLorean himself, his family, colleagues, and news materials, as well as scenes re-enacted by Alec Baldwin playing DeLorean, and even interviews with Baldwin during breaks on the set. It's a unique blend of documentary anddrama, set to premiere in some U.S. theaters on June 7th. DeLorean was an American car manufacturer that has since disappeared. It was founded in 1975 by British automotive executive John DeLorean. The company became famous for producing the unique DeLorean DMC-12, known for its gull-wing doors and stainless steel body. The DeLorean sports car gained fame through the popular movie "Back to the Future," which was released in 1985, but the DeLorean company had already gone bankrupt in 1982. In the film, the DeLorean DMC-12 was modified into a time-travel machine by the eccentric scientist Dr. Emmett L. Brown, an image that has become a widely recognized part of popular culture. Due to the company's bankruptcy, no new cars were produced, and the DMC-12 became a collector's item. However, even today, a significant number of DMC-12s are still in use. It is generally estimated that out of the approximately 9,000 DMC-12s produced, around 6,500 are still in use. Many owner and enthusiast groups and clubs remain very active, even becoming a special kind of culture.
