In fact, frequently viewer sympathies shift from one man to the other, allowing a full investment in both characters. This objectivity means that there’s no attempt to sway the audience into siding with either Lauda or Hunt. Though it would be easy to paint Hunt as an egotistical reprobate or Lauda as a heartless brainiac, Howard takes a more balanced, objective approach. What makes Rush special is that the conflict is not one between good and evil, but rather between two very different approaches to living one’s life. Neither one quite understands why the other chooses to live his life the way he does. But this hatred is mixed with fascination. In order to win, he has made it his business to know all the statistics, machinery and laws governing his sport.įrom the moment these two men meet, they hate each other. Lauda can tell what’s wrong with a car just by sitting in it. Though he doesn’t have as many victories or sponsors as Hunt, Lauda buys his way onto a Formula One team and proceeds to demonstrate his expertise by outsmarting the team’s mechanics. Niki Lauda (played with precision by Daniel Brühl) lacks Hunt’s instincts but makes up for them with hard work. ![]() Hunt lives for the moment, which is one of the reasons he’s such a good driver. A nurse takes him to an examination room to tend his wounds and wouldn’t you just know it-they end up having sex. He’s just arrived from a nasty racing accident. In the first moment of the film, he stumbles into a hospital waiting room, barefoot and covered in blood. James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) is a charming ne’er-do-well. James Hunt and Niki Lauda were competing world champions during the 1976 Formula One season, and if their mutual dislike and comparable skill wasn’t enough to make them famous adversaries, the extreme differences in their lifestyles was. ![]() I quickly learned that Rush is a movie not so much about cars as it is a film about two men who inhabit the world in such different ways that they spend an entire year trying to understand each other. Suffice to say, I didn’t know what to expect when I went to see Ron Howard’s new film, Rush. My sole cultural reference point for race car driving is Talladega Nights, which I mistakenly rented my freshman year of college in lieu of Varsity Blues. I drive a dirty PT cruiser with “wash me!” scribbled in dirt across the back window. Rush was shot on location in the U.K., Germany and Austria.I don’t know a lot about automobiles. Universal Pictures will distribute the film in North America. If you make one mistake, you die.Īlso starring Olivia Wilde (TRON: Legacy) and Alexandra Maria Lara (The Reader), Rush is produced by Andrew Eaton (A Mighty Heart), Howard, Academy Award® winner Brian Grazer (Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind), Eric Fellner (Senna, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), Morgan and Brian Oliver (Black Swan) and executive produced by Cross Creek Pictures, Exclusive Media, Todd Hallowell and Tim Bevan. Taking us into their personal lives on and off the track, Rush follows the two drivers as they push themselves to the breaking point of physical and psychological endurance, where there is no shortcut to victory and no margin for error. Set against the sexy and glamorous golden age of Formula 1 racing, Rush portrays the exhilarating true story of two of the greatest rivals the world has ever witnessedâhandsome English playboy Hunt and his methodical, brilliant opponent, Lauda. The epic action-drama stars Chris Hemsworth (The Avengers) as the charismatic Englishman James Hunt and Daniel Brühl (Inglourious Basterds) as the disciplined Austrian perfectionist Niki Lauda, whose clashes on the Grand Prix racetrack epitomized the contrast between these two extraordinary characters, a distinction reflected in their private lives. Two-time Academy Award® winner Ron Howard (A Beautiful Mind, Frost/Nixon), teams once again with fellow two-time Academy Award® nominee, writer Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon, The Queen), on Rush, a spectacular big-screen re-creation of the merciless 1970s rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda. ![]()
