Lindon auction to feature some movie travel trailers
Plus, if your price is right, you can ensure that the star-crossed location remains no farther away than your driveway.
Erkelens & Olson Auctioneers will auction 28 trailers not the promotional films shown before features but the actual truck-drawn vehicles that were manufactured and leased during a variety of TV and movie productions. They are among the assets of JPS Productions of Lindon that are being auctioned as a result of the company's Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
The trailers include ones used by Jennifer Aniston, Tobey Maguire and other stars and directors on productions including "Touched By an Angel," "Million Dollar Baby," "Pearl Harbor," "Legally Blonde 2," "The Last Samurai," "Everwood" and "Spider-Man."
"The general public might be interested in seven or eight of those because they'd make a very exclusive executive travel trailer something they could pull up to Strawberry or something," said Rob Olson, president of the auction company.
Some trailers simply served as a waiting area for actors and actresses and are complete with leather furniture, satellite TV, flat-screen monitors, granite countertops, bedrooms and living quarters.
Don't ask which stars used which trailers, however. "I'm not sure I can answer that," Olson said. "We're the auctioneers that have gathered this up, collected it and marketed it. I'm going on the information that the debtor supplied to us, and I have every reason to believe him."
Still, Olson said, some of the trailers have names on masking tape on their doors, indicating they were used by a director or a particular star.
The auction will take place at 1 p.m. Tuesday at 307 S. 1250 West, Lindon. The JPS real estate will be auctioned at 3 p.m. Previews of the trailers and real estate will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday and Monday. The auction terms call for cash or certified funds. Bidders on the real estate, which features a 10,000-square-foot building and 1.17-acre paved lot, must register with a cashier's check for $25,000.
