Does look very good, RH is a great film maker, can't wait!

it's about James Hunt and Niki Lauda 1976 season, I'm still waiting for someone to make a movie about Senna, the F1 god... I know you need a good rival to make a movie, but Senna was everyone's rival, and what about Prost? I hope they make a movie about him someday. I loved "Senna" in 2010, I guess they can't really top the real thing.

I am excited to see the movie. Parts of the trailer are quite similar to the definitive F1 movie, Grand Prix, starring James Garner. I think Ron Howard will do it right.

IMHO, agree they could never top that Senna documentary. The pressure and the action on and off track they captured validates what we feel as a small percentage in our own competitions.

Absolutely will wait like a kid on xmas day to see this. Only one other thing I like more than F1.....MotoGP.
Hope the sound in this movie is right next to the engine.
F1 cars are pure sex.

Im waiting impatiently for this one. I was a young kid when it happened and remember the news reels of the accident. I was just cutting my teeth as a racing fan and knew about him. It was my first introduction to what can happen on the track. Was introduced to the "Green Hell" courtesy of Jackie Stewart.

This should look great on IMAC. Ron's movies are usually very good. Apollo 13 is one of my favorites.

It seems like many are excited about the new movie, however younger F1 fans may not know the history of the James Hunt/Niki Lauda McLaren/Ferrari rivalries.

If you have an interest in seeing "Rush," check out this 1996 BBC documentary video. It recounts the 1976 F1 Championship with emphasis on Hunt and Lauda.
