The story follows Formula One racer Niki Lauda and his rivalry with fellow racer James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth). Lauda (Daniel Brühl) barely survived a fiery crash during a 1976 race, and still came back a mere six weeks later to race Hunt.
Olivia Wilde plays 1970s supermodel Susan Miller who ended her marriage to Hunt after only 14 months when she began having feelings for her husband's close friend, actor Richard Burton.. Of course, allegations that Hunt had bedded an impressive 5,000 women, many of them during his marriage, didn't help his case. Burton paid the $1 million divorce settlement that Hunt owed Miller, Burton and Miller were married shortly afterwards
Ron Howard directed the film using a screenplay by Peter Morgan.
Brian Grazer, Brian Oliver Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner will produce the film.
The film will hit theaters on September 20th 2013.
I think Howard has a hit on his hands...
