+whereissit Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 We have heard a lot about geocaching documentaries. Recently, we learned of a feature film thriller involving geocaching. GPS: The Movie, also known as G.P.S., follows a group of adventure seeking college kids who embark on a GPS treasure hunt in the Northwest wilderness. They are led to believe they will find two million dollars in cash. When they arrive at the treasure location they find what appears to be a grave. They dig up the grave to find a small coffin. What they find inside is shocking. Are the contents of the coffin real or is it all part of the game? From the trailer it appears to be a mix of a James Patterson novel and The Blair Witch Project. Despite its low budget look, it has received some positive reviews on IMDB. The film was the winner of the Best Local Film at the Tacoma Film Festival. Currently, it is only being screened in Texas. Has anyone seen this movie? Link to comment

gitarmac Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 OOOooo!! Sounds like my kind of movie, low budget! I'll keep an eye out for it. I miss MST 3K. Link to comment

+HoustonControl Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) A group of us cachers, most of which played GPS The Game (movie promo) two years ago, went to the showing in Houston last Thursday night. We organized it too late to make it a smiley event, but it was fun nonetheless. The movie was a campy, slasher/thriller, but pretty well done for a low-budget indie film. Daniel Magill, who played one of the central characters in the movie was in attendance! The opening sequence is a two-car chase scene on a winding forest highway. What are they racing to? Why, an FTF, what else!!! Edited April 2, 2008 by HoustonControl Link to comment

+mousekakat Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 You can get it from the Castle! http://www.castlecoinsandpins.com Naomi Link to comment
mouse88621 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 You can get it from the Castle! http://www.castlecoinsandpins.com Naomi Thanks for the info. Definitely going to pick up a coin or two; more likely than not I'll probably end up getting the set. For anyone out there into puzzles, I highly recommend GPSthegame.com I just got into it after reading this thread, but it's definitely cool and addicting. Link to comment

Luckless Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Anybody know if there are (have been) plans to put the movie out on DVD? Link to comment
mouse88621 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) Anybody know if there are (have been) plans to put the movie out on DVD? I read that it's coming out in September or October on DVD, but I don't remember where I read that. From what I read it's not going to be released everywhere, so they ask you to tell your local retailer that your interested in it so they can order it.
