Didn't watch, but found this photo. The screenwriter of RUSH promised Niki and his young wife the Golden Globes, so he made it. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Niki is the man. Daniel Bruhl was really brilliant in Rush, and this was undoubtedly Helmsworth's best job 'acting'.
Had no idea that Chris was really that tall, thought Thor was camera angles. Or is it that Niki is just that short, but then, I stood next to Niki a few times, and being 5'11", he did not seem so short. Another: Image Unavailable, Please Login
Being in remote Mexico, I could not watch. I am lucky to have internet and toilet paper. Did the film get any awards? How was the time on stage with Niki and Chris?
Found the video of Chris and Niki at last night's GGs. Damn, gotta love Niki, and just really gotta love the movie RUSH. I even bought a blue ray player in anticipation of the digital RUSH. ?Rush? shut out of Golden Globes; Lauda, Hemsworth still present (VIDEO) | MotorSportsTalk
Niki Lauda is my racing hero -he and Jackie Stewart... he's still prickly but a good guy.... as for Rush - Bruhl did an amazing job - however i think the movie overall was not that great .. I've now seen it 3 times and the best part is towards the end... the beginning is just too far fetched... Grand Prix still stands as the best Racing movie ever... the right mix of fantasy and reality.
When was the last time that you saw Niki without the cap? I don't remember actually. So it must have been years...! He turned even to show everything.
Must have used a slightly stretched "McLaren" when doing RUSH. Wasn't Justin Wilson the tallest F1 driver in recent history? Or maybe it is Mark Webber? Still, I doubt either is as tall and broad shouldered as Hemsworth.
Chis contacted Ron Howard for the Hunt part. Ron said No, because he was too tall to play Hunt and wouldn't fit in the F1 car. Chris lost a lot of weight for the role, and his wife took pictures to send to Howard to prove he could play the part. Ron saw the pics and called Chris in for a reading and check. Check out the YouTube of Chris on Leno show. Most F1 drivers are small, but of course not all.
Forgot about Wilson...dude was tall in that car and head blocked the air intake! Webber is over 6' from what I recall, but definitely thinner than Chris. No idea on the cars used, but they were replicas so probably made to fit him as best as possible.
GOOGLE says Justin Wilson. At first I thought Eddie Cheever, but he did not hit 6'. NEON, interesting story about CH and Ron Howard. Did Hemsworth know about Hunt and Lauda?
Good question, but I would believe he did since he isn't from America and also wanted to play the role. But, here is his interview... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yle03wYyrzQ]Chris Hemsworth Tonight Show 2013-09-16 - YouTube[/ame]
I watched it last night and I thought it was a fantastic movie. My wife enjoyed it as well. It's really amazing how much Bruhl and Lauda look alike. Hemsworth resembles Hunt as well.
Brhul does look alot like Lauda pre fire... Helmsworth - not so much... I remember meeting Hunt at the Watkins Glen motor court - Franchese restaurant - we were leaving and he was coming in - He had faded blue jeans - a furry coat and no shoes. - Have to admit - I dont rememer the no shoes -but it was the first thing my mom noticed - as it was only about 45 F out side!
Can not agree with your view. Actually, except for height, Helmsworth did a great job of looing like Hunt. I met an photographed both. Hemsworth's persona was just as good a representation of Hunt as was Bruhl's of Lauda Image Unavailable, Please Login
Finally viewed this superb movie last night flying back to Germany. My wife and I both watching side by side on 2 screens in our seats. She told me we have to buy it! Now that's a good movie! Ron Howard again P1
