    I'm looking forward to it. Ron Howard usually does good work with his productions.

    Its always tough to make a realistic and accurate sports film. Most sports films I have watched I have not been that impressed by (taking out Senna, which was more a documentary)

    I will be interested to see how this goes.
    I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

    The guy playing Lauda looks the part, not sure about "Hunt", he looks a bit too Hollywood to me. I'm going to see this. The last racing movie I've seen is Driven, so this cannot be worse than that .

    The trailer looks really good and can't wait to see it. The biggest critics so far from a film not many have seen (because its not out yet!) have been a minority of F1 fans across the internet from what I have seen. They don't seem to understand that making a documentary most F1 fans are interested in is not always best for the wider audience. 'Driven' was total and utter tripe, but this film looks like it'll be really good. Ron Howard is also very good at what he does so I have high hopes for this one.

    Despite the excellent provenance this film undoubtedly enjoys, 'Senna' has opened my eyes to how well a documentary film can function in telling a dramatic story to the extent that I'd much prefer to see similar treatment of the Hunt/Lauda story, limited footage permitting, of course.

    I have several problems with the film 'Senna' as a benchmark documentary.

    Mainly, the film heavily features the simplistic and one-sided opinions of John Bisignano to tell a factual story. As a result the film goes into the novel "Senna good - Prost bad" mentality. As far as I remember the film justified Japan 1990 with no counter-argument whatsoever.

    Claims that some 40000 hours of footage was culled to make a movie is a shame, as some of the onboard footage in the film is obviously overdubbed.

    Claims that the documentary was written from a neutral standpoint is far from the truth, but it was still a decent film.

    Yeah... it's the dialogue.

    I will definitely be seeing the movie though, hopefully it does it justice.
