be sure to watch for roto-rooter in the film "the wedding ringer," which opens nationwide on january 16, 2015. in the film, you'll see an amazing stunt performed by a roto-rooter service van that is shown jumping over an open section of a bridge, spanning the los angeles river. in reality, there was no hole in the bridge, but make no mistake, that was a real roto-rooter van jumping a ramp on a real bridge. editors used computer generated graphics in post-production to make it look even more dangerous than it was. roto-rooter provided four different vans for the film.
one was used in the jump scene, another was used in a chase scene, the third was used in the scene when the van was pulled over by the police, and a fourth van was chopped up and put on a gimbal in front of a green screen, for scenes in which the actors can be seen conversing inside the van. now, in the wedding ringer, a very talented actor in the film, jorge garcia, plays the part of a roto-rooter service technician. jorge is a big guy. so to outfit him, roto-rooter had to send him a size 6xl roto-rooter work shirt. and trust me, that was not easy to find. roto-rooter is proud to be a part of the wedding ringer.
it has a great cast and is a very funny film. we hope you enjoy it in theaters and later on dvd and on demand.
