Ron Howard's RUSH gets some Poster Art

Here's a bit of poster art for Ron Howard's upcoming formula one race car film Rush. This is a piece of sales art from the Cannes Film Festival. The movie stars Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Daniel Bruhl (Inglourious Basterds), and Oliva Wilde (Tron: Legacy).

As a big fan of Howard and his films, I'm excited to see what he does with this interesting story and setting. The script was written by Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon, The Queen), and you'll find the synopsis for the movie below...

Set against the 1970's golden age of Formula 1 racing, "Rush" portrays the fast-paced and exhilarating true story of two of the greatest rivalries the sport has ever witnessed – that of James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) and Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl) and their illustrious Formula 1 racing teams, McLaren and Ferrari. A privileged, charismatic and handsome English playboy, Hunt could not be more different from his reserved and methodical opponent, Austrian born Lauda. "Rush" follows their personal lives both on and off the track and charts their rivalry from its inception in Formula 3. Here they competed viciously against each other until Lauda's business acumen and surgeon like precision behind the wheel propelled him all the way to Formula 1; eventually landing him the number one spot at Ferrari. However it was not long before rambunctious golden boy Hunt fought his way into Formula 1, and into the hearts of a nation, dramatically seizing the championship from Lauda and proving to the critics, and more importantly himself, that there was real substance beneath the stylish exterior.
