Ron Howard's Rush gears up to relive Lauda/Hunt showdown

One of the most promising is a project undertaken by Ron Howard that will look at the legendary 1978 Formula One World Championship, in which Niki Lauda suffered a heavy, fiery crash at the Nürburgring only to come back and challenge James Hunt for the title.

Now we've received word on who will star under Howard's direction: Lauda will be played by Daniel Brühl (who you may recognize from Inglorious Basterds and The Bourne Ultimatum), while Chris Hemsworth (he of Thor fame, pictured above) will play Hunt. Romanian-German actress Alexandra Maria Lara will also star in the film

i can see Brühl as Hunt, but the other guy... hardcore lefty who couldn't shine Lauda's racing boots

along time ago i saw some stat about how many F1 drivers get killed and the answer was X.5

i always looked at Lauda as the .5
