Director and actor Ron Howard's only car-themed movie to date has been the 1977 cult hit "Grand Theft Auto." That changes next year, when Howard shoots "Rush," a true story of Formula 1's wild days in the '70s. What better way to get a feel for the track than from behind the wheel.
Howard has been profusely Tweeting his adventures in scouting locations for "Rush," the story of the titanic 1976 battle between Niki Lauda and James Hunt which will star Chris Hemsworth and Olivia Wilde. Earlier this week, Howard took to Britain's Silverstone track for some racing lessons and a driver's-eye view of the track
We can only hope he doesn't venture too far into recreating the '70s F1 scene, like Hunt's famed partying with 33 flight attendants in two weeks before the final race of 1976. "Rush" should be in theaters within a year or so.
