'Rush' Trailer: Chris Hemsworth And Daniel Brühl Battle For Position

Here's the latest trailer for Ron Howard's new film Rush. Before Howard goes back to work with Tom Hanks and Dan Brown, he'll oversee the release of this racing drama based on the real lives and careers of James Hunt and Niki Lauda (played by Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl, respectively) as they compete in a series of races that prove to be personally dangerous and professionally unique.

I'm on a plane en route to San Diego, and the slow connection makes watching the trailer difficult. So I can't tell you much about it from here, but I can provide an embed so you can see it for yourself.

Rush opens on September 27. The film also features Olivia Wilde, Alexandra Maria Lara, Stephen Mangan, Christian McKay, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Jamie de Courcey, Pierfrancesco Favino and Natalie Dormer.

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. The epic action-drama stars Chris Hemsworth (The Avengers, Thor) 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.
