The third trailer from Ron Howards' upcoming Formula One drama Rush is for the pure petrol-heads out there. It's wheel-to-wheel action, it's fast cars, it's the smell of the petrol with the adrenaline rush and the danger of putting your life on the line every time you get into a Formula One car.
The new trailer from Ron Howards' Formula One dram Rush is stunning – both visually and audibly. Hans Zimmer‘s score is as dramatic as they come, fitting perfectly with the speed and thrill of the racing. The shots of the wheel-to-wheel racing are superb and so exciting.
Having recently found out that he has directed several films I rather enjoyed, and loving a bit of F1, I'm very intrigued as to what Ron Howard has in store for us with his next film Rush.
My mother is a rabid Formula 1 fan, a passion that I do not share but my proximity to it through my life has left me a vague familiarity for the sport and its iconography. It may look like a boring sport, with men driving around all day, but there is ample room for drama.

Ron Howard has a new film coming out based on another great Formula One rivalry, James Hunt and Niki Lauda. Their rivalry, which raged through the mid-70s, lead to Lauda being horribly burned after a car crash, only to return to the championship in a triumphant comeback after just 6 weeks.
Friday Night Lights, a series loosely based on the rather great Peter Berg movie of the same name, is one of the all-time great TV shows. It does for the teen/high-school drama what The Wire does for the cop show; providing a broader social context and world-class writing and acting. It's also the show that convinced someone in Hollywood that Taylor Kitsch was a movie star in the making. Shame no one did anything with that.
While promoting GI Joe: Retaliation, Friday Night Lights star Adrianne Palicki talked up the possibility of a Kickstarter campaign, in the Veronica Mars tradition, to continue the story of the people of Dillon, Texas.
Poor Lance Armstrong, the unluckiest biographical subject in the world.
Jay Baruchel has tweeted several times about his latest project - writing the sequel to surprise comedy hit The Goon, which he co-wrote with Evan Goldberg.
From now til the end of movie history, whenever a boxing movie is made, produced, seen, written, heard of, even suggested: naturally it's impossible to avoid comparison with the culturally ingrained Rocky franchise, with Sylvester Stallone in the lead - the archetypal kid-dun-good working class hero.
Who would have thought thirty-two years after Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-winning epic Raging Bull, the biopic of former middleweight champion of the world Jake LaMotta, we’d be sitting here in sheer dread at the thought of a sequel?
Well, that’s exactly what independent film producers RB II Productions are currently shooting in LA, much to the dismay of MGM who are apparently having none of it, reports Deadline.
Noted horror director and heavy metal musician Rob Zombie is to shift away from his traditional focus on genre cinema to write, direct and produce Broad Street Bullies, a drama based on the famous Philadelphia Flyers hockey team of the 1970s.
