SAN MATEO, Calif.---(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--Oct. 28, 1998-- Magic Entertainment, Inc., a wholly owned

industry's most prominent publications, has placed ''Speedway Junky'' on its ''A'' list of films at the upcoming Milan Film
Festival (MIFED).
''Speedway Junky'' is the story of an 18 year old boy who dreams of becoming a race car driver and winning the Daytona
500. But how does a young boy of this age achieve such a dream with only $160 in his pocket; Las Vegas holds the answer.
He hitchhikes to the gambling town only to be thrown out of every casino because of his age. After being robbed of his money
by a young woman, he begins spending his nights on the street with other desperate kids. He meets a woman with whom he
loses his virginity, who then adopts him and starts to turn his life around and helps him to achieve his dream. A love story
develops between this 30-year-old woman (Darryl Hannah) and 18-year old boy (Jesse Bradford). The film also stars
Jonathan Taylor-Thomas Patsy Kensit, Warren G. and Tiffani-Amber Thiessen.
Commenting on the announcement, Menahem Golan, co chairman, stated, ''We are very proud that Speedway Junky has been
selected by the Hollywood Reporter as one of its picks to ''generate major buzz'' at the upcoming Milan Film Festival.

positive sales. 'Speedway Junky' possesses a great cast, a great script and was superbly directed, all main ingredients for a
successful film.''
