Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton will be a producer on an movie about Formula One starring Brad Pitt. Daniel Bruhl and Chris Hemsworth do justice to two of the biggest personalities of F1 - Niki Lauda and James Hunt. ![]() The Screen Actors Guild strike has been the primary factor behind this delay. It is also about the truly extraordinary story of Niki Laudas recovery. Rush is a 2013 biographical sports film centred on the HuntLauda rivalry between two Formula One drivers, the British James Hunt and the Austrian Niki Lauda. Lewis Hamilton has acknowledged that the Pitt-starred feature film on F1, which he is co-producing, will have a delay in completion. Rush is a film about what drives men and women to be the very best in the world. Lauda suffered severe burns in a crash when a control arm broke in his Ferrari car, forcing it to hit an embankment and catch on fire. All the efforts to get Brad Pitt to drive a modified F1 car and complete the shoot of the film as soon as possible seem to have failed. From Academy Award winning director Ron Howard, set against the golden age of Formula 1 racing, Rush portrays the fast paced, action packed and exhilarating true story of one of the greatest rivals the sport has ever witnessed - James Hunt versus Niki Lauda, and their illustrious Formula 1 racing teams, McLaren versus Ferrari. The film also recreated Lauda's harrowing crash at the German Grand Prix at the Nurburgring, which Lauda tried to get called off due to rain. The rare big-budget American film about racing, directed by Ron Howard, focused on the dramatic 1976 season that opened with Lauda ahead of Hunt in the first two races, and saw Hunt disqualified after winning the Spanish Grand Prix, as marshals determined in a post-race inspection that his car was too wide. The Formula 1 rivalry between the late Niki Lauda and James Hunt in the second half of the 1970s received its Hollywood treatment just a few years ago with the release of "Rush," in which Lauda was played by German actor Daniel Bruhl and Hunt was played by Chris Hemsworth.
