Ron Howard Talks 'Rush'

Howard did such a good job -- each scene vibrates with life. Peter Morgan's writing pops -- subtext is as compelling as the race footage. Every shot is a money shot.

This movie practically walks and talks. Can't wait.

New 'Rush' Trailer

Much more racing oriented than the first US trailer and, yes, this looks good. That the story is infused with human drama -- Niki Lauda's (Daniel Brühl) terrible accident and fairly miraculous return to racing as well as his rivalry with James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) -- in order to hook an audience 'Rush' needs nail-biting footage of F1 cars roaring around the track.

Director Ron Howard, clearly, has a way with the action, and writer Peter Morgan (The Queen, Solace) certainly can make the relationship between the drivers compelling.

Fantastic trailer. 'Rush' looks to deliver on both counts.

Clip from 'Fernando Meirelles' '360'

Intelligent writing by Peter Morgan (The Queen, Frost/Nixon). Beautifully shot/edited by director Fernando Meirelles (City of God).

The non-verbal exchanges between Ben Foster and Gabriela Marcinkova bring the dialogue to life and drive events forward to...someplace.

Everything I've seen from this movie has been very well executed.

On VOD today, with a limited US release August 3.
