First Look: Official Images of 'Rush' Starring Chris Hemsworth

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

While we've seen paparazzi snaps on set of Ron Howard's Formula 1 racing drama "Rush" -- or rather, "epic action drama" if you go by the official synopsis -- the official website has unveiled the first official photos from the film.



Written by Peter Morgan ("Hereafter," "The Queen"), "Rush" reteams the "Frost/Nixon" writing directing team for a re-creation of the merciless 1970s Formula 1 rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda, played by "The Avengers" and "Snow White & The Huntsman" star Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl, known for his turn in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds."

Here's the official synopsis:

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.

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 witnessed—handsome English playboy Hunt and his methodical, brilliant opponent, Lauda. 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. If you make one mistake, you die.


"Rush" just received its release date yesterday which is September 20th, 2013. That kicks if out of the 2012 Oscar race obviously, but place it in contention for a premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival next year. The picture also co-stars Olivia Wilde, Alexandra Maria Lara, Christian McKay and "Game Of Thrones" star Natalie Dormer.







OK ONTD HERE ARE THE PICS YOU WANT

Somewhere in the annals of tumblr, there's a great reaction shot of Hunt returning the glare.

Ron Howard's twitter is a great source for pics, as he's been keeping track of the entire production there. Chris has a shower sex scene (with Olivia Wilde, I presume).
makahakat 11th-Aug-2012 08:50 pm (UTC)
well now ill def be seeing it
morgan90 11th-Aug-2012 07:40 pm (UTC)
Not here for skinny Hemsworth. Tumblr will have a field day with the inevitable ~intense glares~ between him and Daniel Brühl.
atomicdogmeat 11th-Aug-2012 07:40 pm (UTC)
He could still get it.
mellarks 11th-Aug-2012 07:41 pm (UTC)
He's just so beautiful omg. (。◕‿‿◕。)

I still can't believe he and Andygarf are like, less than two weeks apart in terms of age. It's fucking weird.

deadtree 11th-Aug-2012 07:47 pm (UTC)
Red Dawn was in the can in 2009 apparently so yes.
love_allure 11th-Aug-2012 07:52 pm (UTC)
oh ok. cause his face changed or something, i didn't even realize it was him until halfway into the trailer. also, what a piece of turd movie.

<_< all day everyday for the people involved in that movie.
deadtree 11th-Aug-2012 07:46 pm (UTC)
for some reason I was expecting the two guys-- James and Niki I guess-- to somehow be romantic interests for one another. I don't know, is it just me? Doesn't it seem like it's the writeup on the back of a star-crossed-lovers novel?

Maybe I've been reading too much fanfic idk
sassandthecity 11th-Aug-2012 07:46 pm (UTC)
That first photo looks so odd, like his head is screwed on incorrectly or something.
deadtree 11th-Aug-2012 07:47 pm (UTC)
yeah I thought it was photoshopped at first
omnishambles 11th-Aug-2012 07:47 pm (UTC)
Really looking forward to this, hope it's good.
labyrinthically 11th-Aug-2012 07:52 pm (UTC)

I came in this post (heh heh) to say that I wish he'd cut his hair, but then I got to the ponytail pic and changed my mind. But he should always wear it in a ponytail.
