Rush tells the true story of the 1976 Formula-One season and the budding rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Chris Hemsworth (Thor) will fill the shoes of Hunt with Daniel Brühl (Inglorious Basterds) playing Lauda and Ron Howard behind the camera.
Howard is an interesting Hollywood talent. He’s directed such Oscar-winning pictures as A Beautiful Mind, Frost/Nixon and Apollo 13 as well as some dead-in-the-water duds like The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, The Dilemma and a pair of lackluster adaptations of Dan Brown novels – Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code.
Early expectations are that Rush will play a major factor in this year’s Oscar race so catch and early look and watch the trailer below:
