Was it really an accident that Formula 1 racer Niki Lauda suffered at the 1976 German Grand Prix or was it perhaps a skillfully aimed blast from Thor's mighty hammer?
Following the UK spot that was launched online this week, we now not only have the first domestic trailer for Ron Howard's upcoming true-life racing drama Rush (courtesy of Yahoo!), but also a full gallery of new stills released by Universal Pictures. There are 12 images and all, some of which you can scope out below. For the rest, and to see each one full size, be sure to head over to our database.
A return to drama after directing 2011's The Dilemma, Howard's new film tells the story of the legendary rivalry between Lauda (Daniel Bruhl) and James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) as they aimed to take over the world of Formula 1 racing - until Lauda was involved in a horrific crash that nearly killed him. Despite his accident, however, which left the Austrian driver with severe facial burns Scripted by Peter Morgan, who previously worked with the director on the 2008 acclaimed drama Frost/Nixon, the new movie also stars Olivia Wilde and Natalie Dormer. Look for the film in theaters on September 20th.
