John Jarratt wants a ride in your Ute
HOW does driving a home-grown Aussie celebrity to the premiere of Gympie-filmed horror movie BOAR sound?
Kinda creepy to some, no doubt, given that the celebrity is John Jarratt, best known for his leading role as serial killer Mick Taylor in outback horror flick Wolf Creek, who enticed his victims with a lift in his car.
But if this does not perturb you, and you are the owner of the grunt-iest, most bashed up and well-loved ute in the region, then this is the job for you.
The Aussie actor has put the call out for a special kind of pig-hunting chauffeur to drive him to the Australian premiere of BOAR in Nambour later in the month.
"We need a pig shooter's truck, a grungy ute, a country's boys piece of paradise,” he pleaded to fans on BOAR'S official Facebook page yesterday.
And he does not want to spare any trimmings for his arrival.
"...with water bottles hanging off it, bull bars, chains, everything that rattles, big tyres and just full of country grunt.”

He wants to arrive in true gritty style to the premiere of his latest flick BOAR, the Chris Sun horror film about a 2.5m-high killer pig terrorising an outback town, shot exclusively in the Mary Valley, including at the former Kandanga Hotel before it was lost to fire .
Picked up by Universal Pictures, BOAR will premiere at the Majestic Cinemas in Nambour on May 19, which gives Jarratt only days to choose his pigged-up ride.
If you think you've got the perfect pick-up, upload an image of your hunting vehicle to the official BOAR Facebook page.

The winner will not only share his ride with the iconic actor, he will get a seat in the same row at the premiere, alongside other talent.
Jarratt will be choosing this Friday, so get your wheels on.
